First off, Happy Birthday oldtimer.
Secondly, what is the deal with funnel butts? Is this an Angus issue? Is it a jealously issue? Do Herefords have funnel butts?
Thirdly, do cattle buyers, feedlot owners, packers, and mnmt care about funnel butts?[/i]
the big time breeders ive seen, are putting rear ends back on em... granted it aint the most important,, but with a good muscled rear you ""usually"" get a overall good packageRD-Sam":25g1a0ux said:I think I read something the other day about them not caring as much about the rear quarter, in fact smaller portions were prefered. Maybe the big time breeders are aware of this and that has led to the funnel butts.
Agreed !! :tiphat:RD-Sam":1guo7nid said:Correct size steaks and roasts are what they are asking for, they have gotten too large in recent years.

it was caustic or doc harris that coined that phrase,, we alway say hatchett assed.. are your refering too the moving parts being grinding meat?mnmtranching":lc2krpk0 said:Buyers, feedlots and packers want uniformity. [not necessarily mnmt] Black Angus seems to be what they want. And for sure the Red Angus are there to. They want finished beef around that 1300 pound mark. Heavy finished cattle are docked significantly.
The "funnel butt" thing is kinda odd. You will only see the term here on CT. No other place in the cattle industry is it used. From what I see it mostly relates to condition.
Anybody see a fat cattle sale? ALL decent quality hard fed beef cattle will have fat round butts.
Angus cattle won't have the weight back there that a Limi will. Most of that round is considered grinding meat, packers don't want to grind anymore of a choice fed then they have to. So it's the percent of the carcass that will be the high priced middle meats that makes the packer $.
And so the popularity of the Black Angus.

There is a big difference in an overly fat cow that has a butt, and a lean/moderate cow with a butt. A Limi with a butt is just more pounds of saleable meat. Most of the round in my areas goes into roast. Granted, it may only bring the same as ground beef(or slightly more), but there is no grinding cost in there. The only reason the rump isn't a more costly cut of meat is because all we want in the U.S. are steaks and burgers. In France, rumps are more highly regarded because they use a lot of slow cooking methods.
