Yipee, Yiyea, Mini Sirloin Burgers!
Some couple in Nebraska have taken Jack in the Box’s Mini Sirloin burger commercial to comedic heights. Actually their just selling small cattle apparently it’s a business.
“This couple bought minicows — compact cattle with stocky bodies, smaller frames and relatively tiny appetites. Their miniature Herefords consume about half that of a full-sized cow yet produce 50% to 75% of the rib-eyes and fillets, according to researchers and budget-conscious farmers.”
“Minicows are not genetically engineered to be tiny, and they’re not dwarfs. They are drawn from original breeds brought to the U.S. from Europe in the 1800s that were smaller than today’s bovine giants…Big cows emerged as a product of the 1950s and ’60s, when farmers were focused on getting more meat and didn’t fret as much about the efficient use of animal feed or grasslands.” Tiny and bold, YA!
