Beef

The domestication of cattle for food dates to about 6500 B.C.

Beef is meat from full grown cattle about 2 years old. A live steer weighs about 1,000 pounds and yields about 450 pounds of edible meat. There are at least 50 breeds of beef cattle, but fewer than 10 make up most cattle produced.

Baby beef and calf are 2 terms used to describe young cattle weighing about 700 pounds that have been raised mainly on milk and grass. The meat cuts from baby beef are smaller; the meat is light red and contains less fat than beef.

Veal is meat from a calf which weighs about 150 pounds. Those that are mainly milk fed usually are less than 3 months old. The difference between "veal" and "calf" is based on the colour of their meat, which is determined almost entirely by diet.

Dogs love beef, they will thrive well on it, but you cannot just feed beef on its own, you must also feed a mix of vegetables, and other meats. I would suggest feeding beef twice a week, alternating the type of vegetables you give with it.

Cut it up small, some dogs wont chew it, and swallowing large chunks of beef wont be good for them, apart from not being able to digest large chunks, it could stick in the throat of small dogs. You can use a scissors to cut it up before you fry or boil it.
