What are characteristics of Beefmaster cattle?
They are known as the "profit breed". Beefmaster cattle are 50% Brahman, 25% Hereford, and 25% milking shorthorn. They were developed to withstand high heat temperatures, and originated in Texas. They are dual purpose (they can be used for milk production or beef production), they have a great disposition, fertility rates, carcass weight, and a good carcass conformation.
How many cows does it take to get 560 million pounds of meat?
Since no carcass weight is the same, we will only use the average carcass weight taken from a Hereford-Angus cross steer that was finished at 1400 lbs. Doing the math, the carcass weight (dressing yield) of a 1400 lb steer is 0.58 x 1400 = 812 lbs. Then the amount of ready-to-eat meat (meat deboned and after cooking) from that carcass weight is 686 x 0.49 = 400 lbs. However, assuming by "meat" you are referring to the meat off the carcass and not from that cut off the carcass and cooked, we will use the carcass weight for this question. Thus, the number of animals it takes to get 560,000,000 lb of meat is: 560,000,000/812 = 689655.1724 = ~689,656 cattle.
Where are Hereford Cattle Bred?

How much usable meat do you get from an extra lean 1700 pound hereford steer?
That's a pretty large steer. Assuming that the carcass weight is 40% of the steer's live weight, you'd get a carcass weight of 680 lbs; with that, minus the weight from bones, you could get about 620 lbs of meat off of him. But it's hard to say without knowing the carcass weight.
