[QUOTE="hayray, post: 506007, member: 3046"] Hanging percentage yes, maybe even more because of how much fat they put on. Hanging (dressing) percentage vs. cut weight - there is big difference. If they are going to my processer vs. me selling at the auction then I will not let them put on as much fat. The commercial buyer uses that fat because that tallow gets trimmed off and sold and blended into many other products, I loose a certain amount of money on the tallow because I have no outlet for it but I get charged for that trim loss from the hanging weight for processing, so that is why the heifers may often have the same or higher dressing percentages as the steers but no were near the cutability.
