| # of cattle has less meaning than lbs of beef.
We are harvesting more prime (market was paying for it and feedlots needed the extra lbs to cover breakeven). Now, there is a huge difference in prime. I don’t care for the stuff that is aged on the hoof and over fed. I simply don’t like seam fat and sinew in my steak.
That extra bark causes packers to buy more lean from other countries to grind as they mix the tallow in.
