Rusty,

Yes, generally they are great eating.

Regardless of age, the Back Straps are excellent eating
as is the other cut of meat under the back bone (sorry, brain dead
tonight and can't think of the nam of the cut).

All the meat on a Buff is good to eat and Ribs make
great roasting with sauce.

Some of the old bulls are a bit tough but when the meat
is cut up they make great stews / curries.

Good luck.
