I feel people brag about how good deer, elk and moose is to help justify hunting. I have ate plenty of wild game, I never had any that I thought was as good as good beef. I have ate venison from deer in rut that you could smell across the yard when cooking it in the house. It was rank, like a boar hog. I ate ground beef bull that was good that had steer fat added to it. I am pretty sure they even band bulls that age and make them into steers and have heard that mellows them out.

WOW,,thats YOUR opinion.I don't agree.First off,,why do you think anyone needs to "justify" their hunting.Second,,I enjoy a nice choice prime rib,,,but also enjoy many other meats because they DO have a different flavor.I have had Elk Backstraps charcoaled,,that would rival any choice New York Strip Steak.

Give me a 150lb bear that's been eating g corn/sunflowers and I'm a happy man.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Going off the picture he's to agy to make a cutting bull . But still has good muscle expression so will yield pretty decent . Not the biggest framed but would guess his weight at 1,750# plus or minus . As of lately he'd be worth .95-1.10 a pound live weight . If decide to sell at auction I'd get him gone sooner than later . Before the market slip's going into fall . Or keep him around till spring and direct market . If so I'd plan ahead to have butcher be ready to add white fat to the grind so not too dry a burger
I'd Rather Try And Fail Then Not Try And Succeed

Just looking at financial options. Not a fight Why are butcher dates so far behind?Covid put them that far behind?That sucks. a variety of things has caused it more small producers raising some beef and pigs for sale as 1/2s and 1/4s to friends and family increased demand for better quality meat people realizing they could get better prices for their stock if they sold locally to what probably started out as friends and family and grew to friends of friends , family of family and neighbors and acquaintances maybe even local FB boards and such. you can get the price the big processor wants to pay everyone , were they have a healthy margin figured in or you can sell for a better price to someone who then also pays the butcher what they want for the processing to get custom cuts fewer processors who also have issues with labor like everyone else even pre covid you best book your hogs a butcher date the day you bought them now you get your butcher slots then order as many pigs than slots maybe 2 more pigs than slots covid just pushed the issue along some if you get the word out you buy animals or salvage animals that won't make their butcher dates or are in excess of the butcher slots there is some good meat to be had. of course you then have to cut them yourself.

Shoot, bring him down here Scott. I'll butcher him for ya for a small portion of the meat, say 1/2?  It can't be much different from a big hog to butcher, right? I've done that 30 some years ago. lol just like Really big deer processing other than you split them down the spine like a pig so that they will cool fast I have only done cows figure 1500 pound bull is going to need a bit bigger tractor bucket to lift it but other than that

Even before covid , local farmers were booked two plus years in advance. There weren't enough kill and butcher establishments around. Noticed that some closed kill and butcher establishments have reopened in the last year. Meat prices are still high in areas. BEST price I could get a year ago was $ 3.99 a lb hanging weight . And 16 months at maybe a butcher date.

I'm saving my Hog fat to possibly be added to the bulls grind if we get it done. I wouldn't mix pork & beef for a couple reasons, main one being alot of people don't cook there burger to higher temperatures recommended for pork.
