Bull calf to butcher? Tainted taste?

[jirwin]

My neighbor has a angus calf they intended to sell as a bull, was never castrated, but now have people who are interested in butchering it? Will it have a tainted taste being that it still has balls? Thanks.

We 'veal' a few bull calves each year and leave them intact and have never found the meat to be tainted. L

We butcher several bulls (and steers) a year and have never had bad taste. For that matter the bulls grow quicker than steers, and while we do band some, we often forget, or we "miss", hence the bulls. Of course you have to watch your back when they get bigger.....
