Yeah, I always tell them that they will get back approx 1/2 of the hanging weight; that it figures out to be about 1/4 of the total live weight of the animal is actual edible meat. People don't seem to get it and then when it figures out to $5-6.00 lb for the actual meat they get bent out of shape. I try to tell them hey, that's not only REAL nice hamburger that you would pay at least 4.00lb for at wal-mart, but that is all the steaks and roasts and everything else. Get tired of trying to explain it so just don't try to sell much anymore unless someone comes to me and I KNOW that THEY KNOW what the reality of it is.
