Processing
Example: If your steer weighs 1,100 lbs. live, it will most likely weigh 638 - 715 lbs. when slaughtered or "dressed". This is 58% - 65% of the live weight.
Example: If your pork carcass weighs 185 lbs., expect approximately 111 - 139 lbs. of closely trimmed, mostly boneless eating meat after processing. This is 60% - 75% of the dressed weight.
Below: To estimate how many pounds of each section you'll get, multiply the stated percentage times the total dressed weight. Example: Beef round at 23% x 650 lbs. dressed weight = approximately 149 lbs. of beef round before it is boned and trimmed to your preference.
Processing Note:
Each animal is built differently. One may have more muscle, fat or bone than the next.
Meat can be close-trimmed or left with some fat on. Cutting preferences can determine quantity.
Meat can be boneless or bone-in. This will make a difference in the weight and amount of meat you put in your freezer.
