As per title, really.
Steaks are always expensive compared to pork chops, and pork mince seems cheap compared to beef.
Anyone know what's so different between cows and pigs to account for the difference?

Pigs have proportionately more meat on them
Pigs are cheaper to rear (feed, accomodation etc)
Cows have 'premium' cuts and breeds ie fillet steak and aberdeen angus etc.

The above information is based on spending two years of saturdays working in a local butchers slinging offal on the ceiling to see who's would stay up the longest, whilst you stood directly below your 'sling'. Which was then scooped off the floor and onto the shop floor

Eww... I think you just did more for the cause of vegetarianism than all the 'sliced-up corpse' comments I've ever been subjected to

I used to have steak fights whe I was a butchers boy, slinging steaks at each other then washing them off before packaging them up for sale. Some even still had my DM prints in them
