Yeah, my dad has a hereford cow that he gets AI'd each year then slaughters the calf at about 12 months, just before the new calf is born. It's all grass fed and I swear it's as tender and tasty as you'll find in any shop and he doesn't grain feed either. He does feed the cow grain when she's pregnant and still has a calf on the teat, but he loves his 'rissole' (what he named her as a weaner before he decided to breed her instead), so she gets a bit sooked up.
