Leanest
When we talk about the 'leanest' animals, we're focusing on the level of finish or fat cover on a market livestock animal. Think of it as the animal's fitness level - if they're leaner, they've got less fat hanging around.
Now, it's not as simple as saying lean is good or bad. We're looking for the Goldilocks zone, a happy medium. We want enough fat for flavor and tenderness, but not so much that it goes beyond the needs of the animal or the expectations of the market.
It's a balancing act, really. For instance, we generally prefer our sheep and hogs to be leaner than our cattle. But remember, too lean can lead to shorter shelf life. So, when it comes to leanness, it's all about finding that sweet spot.
