Market Ready
"Market Ready" refers specifically to the state of a market animal when it has achieved an optimal amount of fat cover, making it ready for sale.
It's kind of like a ripe fruit that's ready to be enjoyed - not too hard, not too soft, but just right. Similarly, a market ready animal, like a steer, displays a smooth and consistent cover of fat, particularly noticeable over the 12th and 13th ribs, as well as fullness in external indicators such as chest, cod, and the areas around the tailhead.
So, 'market ready' signifies that an animal has reached the right condition for sale, exhibiting the ideal balance of fat cover for a market animal, akin to the perfect ripeness in a piece of fruit.
