After responding to Knabe's thread on butchering, I thought I'd pass along this. In a Nebraska test recently a Shorty steer yielded over 70%, with a 19.1" loineye. He also topped the "carcass" rate of gain,(Not live).
Here's the disgrace! Carcass only graded USDA standard. When is the USDA going to scrape this antiquated system of "grade and yield", and come up with something for the 21st century?
I'm thinking T-L (tender-lean). I know these genetics, and their tenderness is phenomenal!
