[QUOTE="footballjdtractor, post: 438611, member: 6290"] we recently sold a steer to be butchered. the steer weighed 1100 pounds live weight, no shrink. the lady who bought the steer off of us weighed the packaged frozen meat and only got 420 pounds. she was very disappointed. when I called the butcher he said you can only expect 40-42% of the live weight in packaged meat. this seems very low to me. he hangs the carcass in his cooler for up to 3 weeks. could this this affect meat yield? I have always known the man to be honest but something doesn't seem right. does anyone have any experience on this subject? [/QUOTE]
