I like good old American Jack Daniels BQ sauce on my red meat.

Not a chance Seed, the new normal for commercial beef carcass is up to 9-14 days hanging in the cooler at 34* before packaging depending on demands at the facility. Used to be up to 16 days in the cooler. These would benefit to 21 days. At a taste and tenderness test at UCD using residents of the town as testers ( my family included ) the winners were cattle that were grain+ alfalfa fed in a feed lot for 120 days and hung in a cooler for 19 days. When one butchers their own chickens at home, after rigor passes , the chicken will greatly benefit for resting in your refrigerator for at least 3 days before freezing or an invite to a BBQ. .

GOD, NYB. You need someone to rein you in...Thank God I have a husband who occasionally says no to my every whim. Though I have been wanting to raise grass fed beeffalo...........
I would say if the 10 year old is for a pet, you are required not to eat it and it can no longer be bred. And what is this mini stuff?

We raised several beef cows. There were hard to keep in. Every wed. my husband was out taking classes. Every wed. the cow, actually bull, got loose. I was lucky that I had a lot of wannabe cowboys for neighbors. They would come running to help me chase it in. I swore it was coming at me. It was delicious, however.
