Thread: when is cattle feral?

I shot a cow across the lake years ago. I was with a Butcher mate at the time. We quartered the animal, this was on a Saturday. Les commented at the time that it was in good nick. Anyway the following Thursday after it had been hanging in his chiller we cut it up. I must admit I was quite excited to be getting all of this beef after living off Pork and Venison for so many years. The meat was horrible and very gamy, Les reckoned it was because of the tucker it was living on, even the mince wasn't that palatable. The animal would of been miles from the nearest farm or forestry as the crow flies, and as it was going to eat me at the time I put a couple of 303 shots into it. Talk about exciting stuff.
