Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 In 1955 a farm friend said he would buy and butcher a milk cow that got too fat to be a good milker or? Now I used to hear that older animals have yellow fat---is that true? Lorenzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Well, that theory doesn't quite hold true when one looks at the highly prized & incredibly expensive meat of Kobe cattle. Do you know that Kobe have even been known to be held up in slings, & fed! As for being too fat to be a good milker, there is a little more to it than that...Though if one knows what they are doing it is fairly quick & easy to pick out what should be the better milkers in a herd by the (lack of) fat upon her protuding hips bones.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2002 Report Share Posted June 30, 2002 Evening Mairanne, I have also heard this - maybe it is one of those rumours that does the >rounds! I have seen yellow fat on fish. Usually it is white. What about the two kinds of fat that are in the body? This is really interesting. I have an article on it someplace, but cannot recall all the facts. One is very important and good fat. Seems it is used to burn fat as energy. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 Hi Wayne, I am sure that I have also seen something about the yellow fat being better for you, I must research this now as I want the answers.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 Read a little on this as well and it seems that there are brown fats and yellow fats, the brown appearing mainly in infants and children and the yellow in adults. I also found a another site about grass fed cattle and yellow fat http://www.sarep.ucdavis.edu/grants/reports/nader/Intro.HTM Marianne > What about the two kinds of fat that are in the body?

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 It is strange because I also thought it was from corn/grain fed as chickens that are corn fed are very yellow - we will be researching this for a while I think.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 Can't get the researchers these days can you, lol.. http://www.fasthealth.com/dictionary/y/yellow_fat_disease.php http://vetgate.ac.uk/subject-listing/*SF402.html It appears to be a disease caused by the lack of vits/minerals, Vit E in cats I have read.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 I read the PDF Marianne, but I did not see any mention of yellow fat being linked to disease. Was there another URL you read but id not send?

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 So it looks to me, based on your URL, that yellow fat disease is different than beef in store with yellow fat. Alobar yellow fat disease n : a disease esp. of swine, cats, and ranch-raised mink that is associated with a deficiency of vitamin E and is marked by inflammation of the fatty tissue, subcutaneous edema, and varied visceral lesions - called also steatitis , yellow fat . - <marianne2406 Monday, July 01, 2002 1:26 PM Re: Beef > Can't get the researchers these days can you, lol.. > > http://www.fasthealth.com/dictionary/y/yellow_fat_disease.php > > http://vetgate.ac.uk/subject-listing/*SF402.html > > It appears to be a disease caused by the lack of vits/minerals, Vit E in cats > I have read. > > Marianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Another great book is Fast Food Nation. Rembember when the natives were eating this meat it wasn't full of antibiotics, hormones and who knows what else. Unless the cattle is free range, it is being kept in very close quarters and often the animals waste is knee deep. I just don't think you can compare the meat the natives ate or even our parents, if your my age to what is on the grocery shelves today.
