In Nigeria we mutter we want to buy a cow for Christmas or even any other celebration but as consumers do we know the different types of cattle being raised(not breeds), there differences and which ones offer the best quality meat or does it not matter. It does matter that you know the facts as often you are purchasing worn out discarded livestock at an exhortation price .

Any way there are 4 types of cattle raised in a farm - cow, steer, heifer, and bull?



Cow: A cow is a female animal that has had at least one calf.

Heifer: A heifer is a female animal that has never had a calf. Once a heifer has a calf, she automatically becomes a cow.

Bull: A mature male animal that is used for breeding.

Steer: A steer is a male animal that has been neutered.

So, what do you usually eat when you eat meat? Generally speaking if it’s good quality meat it’s usually a heifer or steer. If it’s lower quality meat, it’s usually a cow.

I hope Jessam Cattle ranch and farms have helped enlightened you on the matter but as i suspect price is the determinant factor and a cow is a cow mentality might prevail
