[QUOTE="Rahe Family Belties, post: 1029060, member: 18193"] I recently filled an order for a smaller steer and went to the locker this morning to help them cut him up. Steer had a live weight of 785. Dressed weight of 495# Dressing % of 63 Fat thickness .15 inches Yield grade 1 Graded select or possibly low choice. (No USDA grader on hand.) Rib eye area 10.5-11 square inches. About 1.375" per 100 pounds. (Industry average is 1-1.1"/100 pounds.) Muscle was bright red and cut beautifully. He really needed more time on feed, but the customer is king! I will be receiving a premium price for my Belties. I'll be taking two others to the locker in mid-July and look forward to their cutout data. They will be in the 1100-1200 range. Smaller steer is May 22 and larger steer an April 16. I look forward to see what a more market-weight carcass will look like. [/QUOTE]
