Plate three represents a well fattened steer about one year old 

 and weighing about 800 pounds. This class of animals produces the 

 best baby beef, and such meat is not usually found in the markets of 

 the smaller towns. Such beef is usually very tender; it is lacking in 

 flavor, is of a grayish color and unless well fattened is apt to be vealy. 

 This class of beef is very popular, because of the tenderness, and be- 

 cause steaks and roasts can be cut which will not be too large for the 

 small family.
