I doubt it. But I only eat the males I raise due to females being useful for eggs/milk/breeding. Females also socialize better whereas males are incredibly aggressive and will attack and kill everyone if there are too many

>>16014322
Eat meat from the smartest cows, maybe you'll stop being retarded.

>>16014322
Also you probably very rarely eat beef from intact male cows, if ever. Steers are slaughtered, bulls are bred.

This is what listening to 4chan does to you.

>>16014322
Meat from male animals mostly has a stronger flavour and is tougher.

>>16014343
>male cows
huh?

>>16014534
>male cow
Give him a break. There is no reason for city folk to know the proper terms for cattle.
Calf: bovine under a year old
Bull: male with testicles, used for breeding
Steer: young male without testicles, used for meat, or undergoing training to become an...
Ox: adult trained to work, usually male with no testicles
Heifer: young female that has not been bred yet,
Cow: female that is been bred, kept for dairy and/or continued breeding

So yeah, the vast majority of beef comes from steers.

>>16014670
That was useful, thanks

>>16014670
i knew i was being retarded, but part of me always believed that an ox was half horse, half cow, like a mule is half donkey, half horse

>>16014322
there is a ratio to available genders and not to mention for livestock usually only one or two of the same gender is on the farm and the rest are opposite genders. depending on the meat probably less likely you are getting female or male.

hormones in meat does not effect human hormone levels that's from imbalance due to irregularities in blood and levels of different substances in body and sleep cycles.

>>16014670
Come on... It should be common knowledge that Ox/bull and cow is male and female. It's common knowledge where I'm from at least, but I have come to learn things are very different in USA when it comes to common knowledge

>>16014734
Why would anyone outside of farm country need to know that?

>>16014743
It's literally on par with knowing the names of the continents and where they are. It is just something everyone knows

>>16014734
It is common knowledge, it's also very common figure of speech because we're far more often confronted with cows than with bulls.

>>16014322
Good question

>>16014337
>>16014670

Good answers

To add: neutered males gain weight faster and their meat is more tender. Males need to be kept from the herd to prevent inbreeding. Applies to all farmed animals not just cattle.

Female meat is rarely available for human consumption. It's usually considered unfit since it comes from old cows that no longer give enough milk. Usually their meat ends in food for pets.

I know that hoopties flivvers and whips are all urban names for cars, but fuck if I know how to differentiate them.
I’m sure I could find out with a quick google, but why? When I hear someone mention one my brain just translates it as car.
A city boy would know that bull steer and cow are all bovines, but their brain would just translate it as cow.
I know when a city boy is talking about a vehicle.
The city boy knows when I’m talking about a source of beef or milk.
Communication is achieved at an acceptable level for both our needs.
If either of us want more detail, google exists.

>>16014810
What are you even talking about lmao. Do you have brain damage?

>>16014797
i think most chicken meat is from hens.

>>16014948
Cockerels are assholes.
They would just kill each other before getting big enough to use for meat.
Thus...

jesus how the fuck do you guys not know what it is that you're eating

The best bovine meat comes from old cows who have been grass-fed. I bought a cow that was 12years old and almost blind a few years ago, hands down best meat I've ever had.

>>16014670
I always thought an ox was a different animal, like some kind of cattle hybrid. I could never figure out why we only ate the tail. Life is hard when you are retarded

what about meat from trannies or hemaphrodites?

>>16015230
what about it? I wouldn't eat your meat for a cool million

>>16014337
God males are disgusting.

>>16015293
I'd eat any non-diseased meat, or organ.
I'd eat a child's liver, given it's not an american adhd, or drugged up child.
I appreciate food for what it is.

>>16015033
Did you fuck it too? You're Canadian, right?

>>16014670
I lived in horse and fruit/vegetable country throughoutmost of my childhood. Not many cattle. Thank you for the lesson, anon.

>>16015377
Is this the next step in human evolution?

>>16016638
yes

male meat animal probably already castrated to make meat tender and prevent the herd fighting anyways.

>>16014872

>>16017645
Jesus fucking Christ I thought that was the guy transforming into a horse comic from the thumbnail.

>>16014670
Gaddamn and all this time I thought an ox was a whole other species of animal. Well those biblical references make more sense now. The bovine is such a useful animal it can do anything

>>16017645
I have dreams where I can run? gallop? super fast like this. I wonder what it means.

>>16014670
Hello fellow country friend

>>16020959
It probably means you have sw*dish ancestry.
Do you also love peeling bananas for other people?

Farming deepest lore

>>16014322
Le science has said there’s no difference between males and females.

>> thought an ox was something totally different.
Not your fault. Hollywood probably messed up your perception.
When you see an ox drawn cart or farm equipment, unless it’s a historical thing, chances are it is set in Africa or Asia or something.
An ox is a bovine trained to the yoke, it can be used as a catch all term. In the US or Europe that will most likely be male castrated European cattle, but outside of the west anything goes.
Pic related are Water Buffalo.
Some places use (not American)bison, buffalo, or even yaks.
Lots of species in the Bovine family have been partially or fully domesticated and trained to pull. If you can put a yoke around a bovine’s neck and it will follow basic commands without killing you, it can be called an Ox.

Eating Male animals is gay

>>16014322
im gay so I only eat female cows

>>16021387
Le science says shuuuut the fuck up

weird caption, thats not your dad

No, but I'm about to be your stepdad ;)

>>16017645
This seems hot and fun until your realize they really believe it and want to eat every meal out of a pet dish and sleep in a dog bed

>>16014322
anon cows are only female.

>>16014339
Yeeees, bring back the logic of the ancients, which gave us a rationale for eating our fallen foes. I'm totally on board, human remains as medicine is the next big thing in new age snake oil.

>>16014322
Certainly, eating male-based products WILL make you more masculine. EAT CUM

>>16015008
You're meant to castrate them.
It's not legal to do it by yourself since it's "animal abuse", but who's going to check? And the only alternative for them is death, anyway.
You can get sub 10% death rate with practice. Vets usually have 20%.

>>16014726
>Half horse half cow
Bro what?

>>16014810
>flivvers
Is this a contraction for flyover words?

>>16014322
Yes, but magnitude of difference depends on animal and depends on if the males were castrated. Taste and tenderness is different. I eat wild game and wild male animals during mating season have a very strong smell and taste that many people find off-putting. Young female animals are best for eating.

source on this?

>>16024660
baste. I knew an old farmer who asked me if I knew what a bullox was doing grazing on it's own in it's own little pasture and when I said I had no idea he said he\s tenderizinhg, meaning the bull had beed emasculated and was grazing on grass to fatten him up.

>>16025849
baste.

>>16014322

Every time you have ever had chicken in your life was from a female chicken.

>>16025878
no i had some good cock in my time

>>16025878
Nope.
My sister has enough room that she uses free roaming capons for pest control.

>>16025878

Coq au vin?

And as has been pointed out, there are capons if you can find them.

>>16014670
I knew all that, I just don't fucking care. I will say male chicken and male duck instead of rooster and drake. It's called not being autistic.

>>16014670
>So yeah, the vast majority of beef comes from steers.

Just as there are far more male cattle born than are needed as bulls, there are far more female cattle born than are needed as cows.

Around here, the feedlots tend to have roughly the same number of heifers as steers.

for human meat you typically eat women because their thighs have a good ratio of fat to meat.
