The average weight of a steer at processing time is 1200. At this weight the steer has maximized meat production and has put on the correct amount of fat
Fat is what gives beef its flavor. Many people think grass fed means there is no fat. This is wrong. Fat will build on both grass and grain fed steer. The only way to minimize fat is to process the steer at an earlier wieght
