A study was conducted in order to enhance the value of the beef that is produced from Japanese Polled cattle. We weaned the calf after grazing with the mother cow for six months. After that, the calves were fattened by grazing and 5kg compound feed. The calves were fattened up during 25 to 30 months of age while grazing. As a result, the fattening cattle offered higher feed conversion ratio and the beef had a high vitamin content. In addition, we cooked a dish by using these beef and provided it to college students, and according to the results of a questionnaire survey, obtained a higher quality evaluation of the beef.
