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.
