I don’t think we should go into cattleptic shock over all this, eating him is still a mooot point.

Not to be picky but being a cow wouldn't that be a "her" or, have cattle decided to go gender fluid like the millennial's?

$1:

“He was too big to go into the export plant’s chain,” Geoff Pearson, the steer’s owner, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). “We have a high turnover of cattle, and he was lucky enough to stay behind.”

I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to explain to me that the beef we mostly eat comes from castrated male cattle because, without this information I may have gone through life having to rely solely on memory about the time I spent on a working cattle ranch.

And Llama is absolutely right. It's either lazy reporting, or complete ignorance of the subject they're reporting on that allows these half assed reporters to adversely affect the intelligence of the people who actually believe they're getting accurate unbiased news.

FFS if they can't even tell the difference between a cow and a steer why should anyone believe that they're giving us the truth when they cover weightier subjects.

Well played sir.

And for the record in hindsight I do suppose I was a steerboy, a bullboy, a heifer boy and of course a cowboy.

Protip: Most people aren't psychic.

Also: we don't believe them. That's why I tend to use actual science studies, rather than the medias' piss poor interpretation of science studies.

You and I may not but, there are far to many people in the world who refuse to think for themselves and happily take whatever screwed up information the news gives them as gospel and then regurgitate it to others who keep it going.
