I believe angus is best for meat.
Embden is the the number one meat breed among geese.
Boer, Spanish, and the Australian Kiko are the three most popular breeds of goats raised for their meat.
Artificial selection. They select the sheep with the best qualities for meat production and breed him/her to other sheep with similar qualities and characteristics.
A steer is a castrated male that is raised for its meat
the breast but if you are posh then the leg.
on a 1000 pound steer of exceptional quality you will get about 400-450 pounds of meat with about 150-170 pounds being steak.
Beef meat is from cattle. If the meat is from cow, steer, bull, calf, does not matter it is beef.
Any and all breeds of cattle are used as show animals, steer or not.
Depends on what your looking for. A good T-bone steak? Or just good hamburger? If you are looking for quality meat you would want to pick one of the many beef breeds. No need to buy a full blood breed either. A good F1 cross of any two beef breeds will have good fat/muscle ratio (marbling) maybe even better than any one breed alone. To get good beef you will want to buy a steer (castrated bull) or a young bull if you don't mind castrating one yourself. Also look at some "ideal" animals either in person at a livestock show or in pictures so you know what to look for. If your just looking for hamburger meat any old cow will do. The thing is, there is really no best breed for meat. What you choose depends on what's available in your area, what you're willing to spend on and how much meat you want to get. There are so many breeds and composites of those breeds to choose from that the choices can be a bit mind-boggling. You don't have to go with a top beef breed like Angus or Simmental, even a Jersey steer can produce some good meat if fed correctly and fed long enough. What quality of meat you get also depends on what you feed it, so you will have to plan and research for that as well.
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.
A longhorn steer is a type of steer popular in the Southwest, especially in the state of Texas. It is easily identifiable by it's incredibly long horns, which can measure up to 7 feet from tip to tip.
The cow's or steer's meat is beef; the sheep's meat is lamb or mutton; the pig's meat is pork.
