[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1805227, member: 39695"] For as long as I can remember screamed and cried that finished cattle have to “Fit the Box” For some reason that has all changed. Fit the box- refers to the steaks being relatively similar and fit in an imaginary box. 1,350-1,450 lb finished cattle typically fit the box. In the last six months the reoccurring theme has been big cattle 1,600lbs that are yg 3 or 4 are the cattle that top the sales. They have to be making really big steaks that don’t fit the box. Has portion control gone out the window? Who is buying these big cuts of beef? Is it the restaurant trade or are the packers cutting those big steaks in half and making two smaller portions that they can charge just a little more for? [/QUOTE]
