I easily see this happening, once you break down a fore or hind quarter it has no choice but to start losing moisture content. I started cutting after the Army in the mid-seventies my day off was Monday the same day as our supplier killed. I spent many Mondays their free labor learning all I could about carcass beef. Now in my sixties, I still am far from knowing it all. there are complicated aging parameters that must be followed.
