    Cutout weight percentages

    KPH-kidney, pelic, and heart fat. That could sure contribute but I wouldn’t expect it to cause the difference you are seeing. I knew a guy that took a 280 lb pig in to get slaughtered and got back 260 lbs of meat. He thought he was the man until he ate some of it. Had to feed it to the dogs...

    How to get coat shiny???

    If I’m trying to get a horse ready to go to a big sale I’ll start supplementing him with Calf-Manna. It will make them slick and really shine. It would work for cattle as well.

    Selling Local

    The feedyard cuts out all the middle men. Every one makes a commission up to the feedyard.

    Mixing feed help

    Technically you are correct. When you convert a number to percent the decimal has to be moved. Haven’t had to show my work since 5th grade. I need to keep the audience in mind when I post. Thought it might be helpful to show someone HOW to do it instead of asking.

    Finish for private treaty sale

    http://www.wattersonranch.com/ $5.93/lb 1/4 carcass approximately $700 not the highest or the cheapest around. Of course you have to be within 75 miles of Austin. I’d rather pay more and live somewhere else. I’d have to be pretty hungry to eat any grass fed beef. But, I’d sure sell it.

    Just butchered a good steer.

    How were the ribeyes? Steer yield was 54.4. If you shrink the str 1250 * .96 = 1200 still 56.6 hard to get a str that lean to grade that high. Take a picture of a ribeye and then google a picture of high choice. See how they compare. If you liked the steaks nothing else matters.
