I'm pretty sure it is four. Two on each side. The porterhouse will have the largest fillet because it is towards the butt end of the tender. After that it is all t-bones.
The T-bone steak is located in the short loin of the cow, which is located behind the rib section towards the rear of the cow. The T-bone steak gets its name from the T-shaped bone that divides two different types of meat: the top loin (or strip steak) and the tenderloin.
From an average-sized cow, you can typically expect to get around 10 to 12 fillet steaks, also known as tenderloin steaks. The tenderloin is a relatively small cut located along the spine, making it one of the more limited portions of meat available from the animal. Overall yield can vary based on the cow's size and breed, as well as butchering techniques.
Texas Roadhouse is one many restaurants that have a variety of delicious steaks on the menu. They feature Prime Rib, New York Strip, Ft. Worth Ribeye, Porterhouse T-Bone are just a few of the steak options.
The cow does not have cow chops cut from its meat because of the size of the steaks that can be taken from the cow. A chop would infer a smaller size. That is why they are called steaks on a cow and not chops.
Yes, buy one of each and taste the difference. Steer tenderloin will always have more flavor and be more tender. Cow tenderloin has less marbling and is a bit mushy. This is why steer is always 2-3 times more expensive than cow.....
Steaks are cut from larger portions that could be roasts. I know of one vendor who sells 3-pound (48-ounce) Porterhouse steak. To me, that's a roast. See Related Links.
No, even a small cow would yield far too much meat. I read of one blogger bought an entire cow an ended up with 121 lbs of ground beef, and far more in the form of steaks and assorted other cuts.http://preparetoeat.blogspot.com/2009/04/our-first-whole-cow.html
Just one.
One can purchase mail order steaks from websites, such as Omaha Steaks. One could also purchase them from the Chi Gourmet Steaks and Littlefield Ranch websites.

There are many jokes about a cow and a farmer. One joke is about the cow who kicked the old farmer.
