Where do New York strip steaks originally come from?

Hi all! Where exactly do New York strip steaks come from? Is there a specific region or type of cattle that's best for this particular cut? I'm interested in the origins and whether that influences the quality. Would love to know more from the steak experts here!

New York strip steaks come from the short loin of the cow, which is a tender area along the back. While the cut itself isn't tied to a specific region or breed, quality often depends on factors like the type of cattle (Angus is a popular choice) and how it's raised. Grass-fed or grain-fed beef can also impact flavor and texture. Steak experts, feel free to add your insights!
