We are taking a fat heifer to the locker in the morning. I want flank, and skit steaks. Oxtail, and the kidneys saved. Maybe shins as well.
The heifer should weigh, say 1300 to 1400 pounds. The steaks should be cut say 3/4 thick.
How would you have the beef cut?

I'd tell the meat cutter what I want to cook and let him do his thing.

.75 inch steaks?
Thats criminal!
I like good steaks cut to 1.5 inches.
The crappers can be cut to 1 inch.
2 pound packages of burger, 4-6 pound roasts.
Save the tail, heart and tongue.
We save a brisket once in a while too. They cut them in half though....which I dont like.
Save the ribs as well.
Wife likes the flat irons.

Steaks 1.25” and two to a pack. I’ll take T bones over a bunch of filet.
Ribs split between English and flanken style, half of each style, please.
Don’t grind too much, I like cube/Swiss steak, stew meat, and soup/neck/shank bones with some meat on them.
Ground lean and 1.5#’s to a pack. 4-5 pound roasts.

How would you have the beef cut? I'da thought old farm boys like you woulda butchered and cut your own!

I used to love processing meat (Beef, Pork or Moose) for old farmers—they always knew exactly what they wanted.

I like good steaks cut to 1.5 inches.
A 3/4" thick steak isn't my baseline preference either, but they are fine for a quick pan sear.

Whatever you do, don't trim the fat from the outer edge of the chop. The crispy fried fat is great.

Depends on how much fat it has.
Have you ever seen a 400+# hog cut up.

What about all the beef fat? Especially the good stuff around the liver. Are any of you saving it to render and use later?
Just a thought as I was trimming up a fat cap on a roast im gonna throw in the oven later. I started saving all the beef fat trimming and maybe by the end of the month I'll do a rendering.
