New Mexico | that say a grass finished Lowline weighing 750 lbs has approx 1 square inch of ribeye per cwt. of body weight, JUST like regular cattle do. 750 lb animal thus yields a carcass with 7.5" ribeye area.
Keep in mind they are just a mini Angus....and Angus tend to run at the 1" norm for most of em.
Big ribeye cattle can go in the 1.2 to 1.4 square inch range...but they are definitely the exceptions, and not the norms.
Your omega balance changes simply due to ration, NOT breed.
Grass ration based finished cattle have different omega ratios ( supposedly healthier, perhaps just depends on who's spinning it ) vs the grain based finish rations.
