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.


How much weight is meat or usable in a 1000 pound cow?

About 500 lbs, depending on the condition of the cow and her age. Typically carcass weight is ~50% that of live weight.


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.


What does carcass traits mean?

Carcass traits refer to the physical characteristics of an animal's body after it has been slaughtered and processed for meat production. These traits can include measures of muscle yield, fat content, and overall carcass quality. Carcass traits are important for determining the value and marketability of meat products.

What is the amount of lean meat compared to the total carcass weight is called?

The amount of lean meat compared to the total carcass weight is referred to as "dressing percentage" or "carcass yield." This metric indicates the efficiency of meat production from the animal and is important for evaluating the economic value of meat processing. A higher dressing percentage signifies a greater proportion of usable meat from the carcass.

What does grs mean in meat?

In the context of meat, "GRS" typically stands for "Grade and Yield," which refers to the quality grading of meat based on certain standards and the expected yield of usable meat from a carcass. Grading helps consumers and producers assess the quality and value of the meat. Different grading systems exist depending on the type of meat, such as beef or pork, and can influence pricing and marketability.
