Where's the beef?

[KFhunter]

I would think that it would be unannounced, or those people would be in harms way, and the shoot then canceled

Been to the Gila?  Mighty rough, 150 head is a speck.  Bring a match and a fork

You guys stop talking about tags.
There probably not classified as wildlife.
Head down there and get some.

But yes they could of set something up with a food Bank or something and keep the waste down.

Or put an ad online/paper to try and get a local to round them up and auction/slaughter/or keep.

Here’s my take as a cattle breeder. Those critters have been feral, grass fed so long that they have basically developed their own unique genetics. That bull has been making a living on scrub and still fleshes out like good commercial herd bull. Why not auction the herd off to some investors to introduce a new strain of true grass raised beef?  A little research into these animals might lead to better carcass traits with much less feed or head per acre that can be passed on to established commercial herds. Just a thought.

That would be interesting to do. But tofu eating tree huggers in the forest circus don’t care about that.

Have to show them the White Oak Pastures study that shows organic , free range, grass fed cattle are actually a carbon sink.

I don't know how wild these cattle in AZ are, but they are potentially quite elusive if they have evolved anything like the wild cattle (scrub bulls) in Australia?
