That's considered a good thing.  Brazil hasn't had a case of mad cow disease since 1990, so they say.  Supposedly all their cattle are free range grass fed and there is much less chance of the disease..

Okay, this is a dumb question.   Are the bully sticks taken from the bull when it is slaughtered or when the bull is turned into a steer.  But they don't remove that part when they turn it into a steer, do they?

Well, I was pretty sure it was taken at the time of slaughter.  I mean I don't think it could live without that very important part and I doubt if they would put catheters in bulls.   I wonder if this part used to be considered waste parts before, and who thought of the idea of drying it and selling it as dog treats.  Would you want to be known as the inventor of bully sticks?

BIG BRAZILIAN BULLS !!! haha
Ok... here's an article I copied from a website...

What are bully sticks dog treats made from?


Bully sticks, also known as beef pizzles, pizzle sticks, beef sticks, steer stix, are made from 100% bull penises. Bull penis is a single ingredient of bully sticks. Some suppliers and merchants say that they sell bully sticks made of "beef tendons" or "dried muscles" as that part of the anatomy is a tendon and muscle indeeed, and this may sound less repulsive for some people with psychological barrier thinking of feeding bull privates to their furbabies.

In the beginning of manufacturing process the bull's penis that is usually 23-25 inches long, is removed and cleaned. It is hung vertically for the fluids contained to fully drain. Without these fluids bully sticks are odor free. At the next stage of processing bull penises are stretched, twisted or braided, dried and then may be smoked for flavor. The result is a 30-40 inches long very hard brown stick which is cut into pieces suitable for dogs of any size. Thus you can buy small bully sticks of 4'', large beef pizzles of 30 inches and any length between, such as 5'', 6'', 7'', 9'' and 12''.

As bully sticks are 100% natural product, thickness, shape and color may slighty vary.

Compared to other dog chews, bully sticks last incredibly long time. It can take weeks for a small dog to chew on one bully stick, while large breeds may enjoy chewing of bull pizzles between a few hours and a few days.

Bully Stick Analysis:
Crude Protein: not less than 80%
Crude Fat: not less than 1%
Crude Fiber: not more than 1%
Moisture: not more than 20%
Ash: not more than 2%

  (Brazilian dancer)  happy that she gets REALLY good deals on her bully sticks!

Wonder how many sticks can be made from the average bull penis?  I know Skeeter's penis (for those that don't know he is a horse) is quite long when he lets it hang out.  (Of course he doesn't do that too much any more because I usually grab it to clean it when he does that....)

 See, Skeeter used to get very relaxed when I brushed him at a certain place on his back....so relaxed "everything" would hang down, if ya know what I mean.  Which is the perfect time to grab it and check it for "beans" or icky things that can plug the ureter and cause problems.  Trouble is you have to kind of turn the thing inside out to check....and it doesn't feel too good....so although he sometimes still lets it hang out - I have to be really quick at grabbing it or he'll suck it back in

Sheath cleaning 101.   Now, of course it was bigger back when we would catch him actually mounting a mare.....
