Beef T-bones 3-1-2-4

I placed 3 over 1 due to greater trimness and advantages in muscling. 3's trimness was displayed by less fat over the logissimus muscle and less tail fat. In addition, 3 possessed a larger longissimus muscle. Moreover, 3 presented a greater amount of marbling in the longissimus and psoas major. I realize 1 exhibited a clearly larger psoas major.

I placed 1 over 2 due to clearly greater muscling, resulting in a greater amount of edible portion. 1's muscling was shown by a clearly larger longissimus and psoas major. In addition, 1 presented less tail fat, as well as seam fat. I realize 2 displayed a greater amount of marbling. Moreover 2 exhibited less bone.

I placed 2 over 4 due to clearly greater trimness, resulting in a higher lean to fat ratio. 2's trimness was displayed by less fat over the longissimus, as well as less seam fat and tail fat. Moreover, 2 obviously had less bone. In addition, 2 presented a brighter cherry red colored, firmer, finer textured longissimus and psoas major with a greater amount of marbling. I realize 4 possessed a larger psoas major.

I acknowledge 4 displayed a great amount of marbling. However, I placed 4 last as 4 was the fattest, lowest cutability T-bone in the class. 4 displayed the most fat over the longissimus, as well as the greatest amount of seam fat and tail fat. Moreover, 4 displayed the largest amount of bone. Thus, 4 would yield the least amount of edible portion.
