Hot take: I hit 10,000 pounds of beef processed last month and it felt wrong

I finally broke my personal record of 10,000 pounds of beef put through on a single month... and honestly it kinda bothered me. That number means I'm rushing through 300-plus carcasses a month, and I started wondering if the quality is slipping. Everyone talks about volume like it's the goal, but I swear my yield percentage dropped by 2% compared to when I was doing half that. Anyone else feel like hitting big numbers makes you cut corners you'd never take before?

That 2% drop is no joke. Volume chasing kills the craft every time.

What kind of volume are we talking, small batch or mid-level runs?
