A single cow can indeed provide enough beef to feed an average family of four for a full year. While a cow weighs a lot on the hoof, the amount of edible meat you actually take home is what matters: - a typical steer weighing around 1,200 lbs (545 kg) will yield approximately 440 to 500 lbs (200–225 kg) of take-home meat after processing. - for a family of four, 450 lbs of meat translates to about 8.6 lbs (3.9 kg) of beef per week. - you’ll get roughly 200 lbs of ground beef, along with roasts, brisket, ribs, and various steaks (ribeye, T-bone, sirloin). With moderate consumption (about 1.5 kg of beef per week for the entire household), 200 kg of meat can last for over two years. For families who consume beef almost daily (about 3.5–4 kg per week), a whole animal covers about one year’s worth of needs.
