Thanks.  Keep in mind that cut-and-wrap also contains the fat and some bone. 

 

Indeed, some additional protein is certainly ok under many circumstances--but it's a long way from that 6 oz portion to that gargantuan steak, too!  (I personally like petite sirloins--just about the right size.)

Cut and Wrap on a steer is usually 55% and 50% on a heifer.  The feed at the end will go mostly to fat.  When we raised emus, we wanted to fatten them up for the FAT but I’m just not so sure we need so much on our beef. 

 

Ideal protein in ones diet can vary considerably depending on circumstances…for instance, I’m diabetic and do much better with more protein and less carbs…but one thing in the US we’ve forgotten is how healthy one can be when shopping the outside of the grocery store…ie meat, veggies, fruits, etc.  Of course, it’s hard sometimes to shop there for endurance rides and much easier to go for the canned stuff.  Sometimes rides make me tired just because I eat crappy, from a can.  We’re still tent campers and I’m not a great one for cooking while camping…sigh.  I have high hopes for eating better when we get that LQ in the next year or two.
