How much beef does one cow give?

One cow can produce anywhere from 400 to 1,000 pounds of beef, depending on the breed and size of the cow.

Here are some specific examples:

- A steer (castrated male) of the Angus breed can produce around 650 pounds of boneless, trimmed beef.

- A heifer (young female) of the Holstein breed can produce around 500 pounds of boneless, trimmed beef.

- A mature bull of the Hereford breed can produce around 850 pounds of boneless, trimmed beef.

It's important to note that these are just average estimates and the actual amount of beef produced by a cow can vary significantly depending on factors such as the cow's diet, age, and health.
