Fairly lean but great flavor. What you might want to do is after she's hung for a couple of weeks cut a couple of ribeyes and see if they're tender enough to make decent steaks. If they are, process her like any other carcass. Once it's ground you can't put it together for steaks and roasts. If it's too tough go ahead and grind her.
