Having dressed and hunted (not hunting the cow) all three, there is no comparison.

They are not similar, which is why experienced hunters take their cows to a butcher instead of doing it themselves.

You just end up with a lot more ground meat with cow most times due to size. The larger the size of animal the longer it takes to break down. You are the first experienced cow hunter I have met and heard of.

Did a five week culinary school block on meat fabrication. Started with a hanging half. Cool af.

Like I said in my post, I didn't hunt the cow. I have very unfortunately had to help butcher one. It was truly one of the worst experiences of my life.

I have hunted and processed all AND butchered and processed my own cattle, chicken, goat. Cows are easy, just larger. All of them break down by muscle groups.
