Today's
consumers do not want fat or tough meat for a variety of reasons, some
of these being weight consciousness and the movement towards low cholesterol
content. At the same time, they do not want to sacrifice taste and tenderness.
The British White meetsall of these requirements.
The meat is very lean and tasty. A thin rhine with a light
flecking of marble set off the obvious quality of steak or roast. Hamburger
is practically fat free yet full of flavour!
Purebred or cross-over steers will finish out at 1100 to
1200 lbs - choice. A 62% - 64% carcass to live weight is normal.
