Australian Lowline steers get
74% to 76% dress out when
put to the test by Queensland butcher.
| The proof's in the eating. In an evaluation in
Queensland, dressing percentages for two purebred 25-month-old
Lowline steers reached 76.13 and 74.21, well above the 70%
figure aspired to by other breeds. The figures were
provided by The Raw Sausage, Queensland butchers for 43 years.
Butcher Graham Zahl attributes the high dress out percentage
to lower bone content. |
