Why so much emphasis on the rump?

[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1539723, member: 968"] Butch - I'm not talking about showing cattle. I don't even show steers - but that's another subject. I am talking net carcass value. You receive dollars per pound times number of pounds. Very simple. I do not think the "consistent" premium for prime over the price of choice will make you more money on a small carcass weight. You are now talking about 1/4 Wagyu, so that may not reduce the pounds as much, but it also will not increase the quality grade that much. [url=https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/nw_ls410.txt]https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/nw_ls410.txt[/url] If you had a 700# carcass Prime $202.38 x 700 = $1416 Choice $193.37 x 700 = $1354 (a difference of $62) BUT, if your Prime Wagyu only weights 600#, you are looking at $1214 ( a diff of $140 less than Choice at 700#) And I am betting your 1/2 blood Wagyu carcass is going to weigh at least 100# less than a conventional breed - same age.
