We will probably look to get something come fall this yr, once the garden area is rearranged, we are going to plant some grape vines...ours died...will be looking and discussing it til then as to what, and how many.
So I would have to guess there'll be nothing but home grown beef in your future. That was one awesome looking steak! And I agree the marbling looks like what I expect of a rib eye. so, that being the case, what DO the rib eyes look like from this steer? steak lovers want... no, NEED to know! 
I think the primary difference between a porterhouse and a T bone is the size. Essentially, they come from the same place. OK, just checked, sure enough:
T-Bone steaks and Porterhouse steaks are the same. The Porterhouse is just a larger version of the T-Bone because it is carved from the larger portion of the tenderloin. A Porterhouse is the "King of the T-Bones". Diagram Showing Beef Cuts Both are cut from the short loin area of the beef.

Edit to add, Bruce, you KNOW what I'd do with it... Grill it, medium rare, then devour it! Well, unless I had several like it in which case I'd be serving some others to guests

That T-bone was the first thing we had tried from this batch and Teresa wants to get the main freezer emptied some before eating more so no rib eyes for awhile (except we have family coming in this week.

You will OF COURSE post a picture of those rib eye's for @Latestarter and the rest of us, right?
Based on the drawing I'm guessing Mike's "tiny T" came from the forward end of the short loin. If the bigger one was properly classified as a T, I sure want to see what the Porterhouses look like
Thanks for the image Joe.
So how come the top sirloin is between the sirloin and bottom sirloin? Someone with dyslexia created this name/position thing?

We will post some more pictures of this beef. We really like this meat processor. We could have gotten an good bit of tenderloin but opted for the bigger steaks with more tenderloin.
We had half a steak left over so I had to suffer through some steak and eggs this morning.

Good looking steaks! Meat goes down easier when you name the animal ribeye, pork chop, roast, bacon or something of that nature. I don't name my wether boy lambs. I just call them boys or lambies. LOL

We have only named three out of all of our critters. It's actually easier for us to remember the numbers.

We had to run our #6 lamb into the vet this morning. Of course it had been raining all night and this lamb is one of the biggest. We noticed yesterday that his groin area swelling was a whole lot more than the other 4 that got cut. We took a picture and sent it to our vet and he told us to bring the boy in this morning. Evidently there is a rare condition where a lamb (or other animal) will basically have a hernia and when they are castrated they can eviscerate (the internals can start dropping through the opening.
The vet cleaned it out and stuffed it with iodine soaked gauze and sewed it mostly shut but left a bit of the gauze so it can be pulled out a little at a time. The idea being to seal off the opening as he heals. We will take him back in Wednesday to see how we want to follow up. We would have gone ahead and processed him but we just gave him Ivermectin shots Friday.
He doesn't seem to be in any pain and we have him and his mom isolated so we can keep an eye on him.
