Caveat: No calf is built the same. Some are a little thicker in the rear, some a little more broad-chested!! I cannot guarantee exact amounts of any cut of meat. As a general rule, the breakdown is:
Steaks: 31%
Roasts: 31%
Ground Meat, etc.: 38%
If you order 1/2+, you control the cuts. If you don't like roasts, they can all be processed into the hamburger. I also try to change up the cuts for 1/4ths and 1/8ths to meet your needs.
Photo Center: These calves are nearing a year old and process time.
