White fat
Posted: Tue Nov 20, 2012 9:33 am
Got our first short leg steer back in the freezer last month. 140kg dead weight, 100kg cut up - (sadly not the size of the short leg in the earlier thread on carcass weights. 27mths old.
The fat is not at all yellow compared with a half dexter we bought to taste test before we started out with them. Only been fed grass and silage, albeit in its first winter our silage was whole crop wheat/blackgrass.
I'm aware there were two other dexters in for slaughter at around the same time so wondering if we got ours back, although the weights sound about right for ours. Is DNA test feasible/affordable to check its ours?!
