How many steaks make a cow?

It's impossible to give an exact number of steaks per cow. Here's why:

* Cut Variations: There are many different cuts of steak (T-bone, ribeye, sirloin, etc.), each of which comes from a specific part of the cow.

* Cow Size: Cows vary greatly in size. A smaller cow will yield fewer steaks than a larger one.

* Butchering Practices: How a cow is butchered and what cuts are made will impact the number of steaks.

Instead of a specific number, think of it this way:

* A cow can provide a lot of different steaks, depending on the cuts desired.

* The entire carcass of a cow is used for various products beyond steaks, including ground beef, roasts, and other cuts.
