[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1698723, member: 39347"] This is the ribeye-decent size for the steer it came from, but do you see the low end? Looks very closely trimmed. The brisket deckle is square cut too. I KNOW they forgot to give me my organ meats-they’re delivering to me tomorrow. I can’t prove there is meat missing. Their cut sheet, however, states “typical meat return is 50% of carcass weight depending on breed”. I got exactly 50% back, on a small-framed beef steer (pic below about 2 weeks before processing and earlier this spring). Same composition calf last year at a different processor was 67% of HW. So...I’ll show the owner what the cuts look like that I got back, take my organ meats, and ask him if there may have been something condemned by the inspector that can explain the trim pattern. I’m aware of perception vs reality on dressout, but 50% of 50% is kinda hard to swallow. If that’s true dressout, I’ll pick different genetics for feeding next year. [/QUOTE]
