Moo Moo was a beautiful Jersey mix yearling steer. Sweet steer was he, now to table he goes.

Moo Moo weighed in at 540 lbs hanging weight and yielded about 275 lbs of Ground Beef, 28 T-Bone steaks (Which is the New York strip), 20 Club Steaks, 24 Tenderloin (Where the Filet Mignon resides), 6 big roasts, 28 ribs, 2 huge Brisquits, and much more. All in total, about 520 lbs of meat.. that's 18 square feet of freezer at the Ranchita.

Special note about this beef, it is all natural non-hormone Grass fed beef. Very tender as well.

I guess I am a sixth generation Texas Rancher in a small way, and I guess I did learn something about beef from my Dad, God bless him!
