What is the difference between Y3 and Y4 beef in how much usable meat is in a carcass?
I sell and cut my own cattle and I want to be fair to my customers when one of my beef ends up being a Y4. Normally they are Y3. I know a Y4 does not yield as much meat and I am looking for a rule of thumb to discount the Y4 to my customers because of the extra fat waste.
