[QUOTE="ksmit454, post: 1665763, member: 39792"] Excellent info. I have always told my customerhat hanging weight is approx 60% of live weight, and take home weight is approx 60% of the hanging weight. For example, one of my last steers I finished out and butchered was 858lbs hanging weight. To find approx take home weight: 858 x 0.60 = 514lbs that goes into freezer. I had a difficult time however calculating approximate live weight from the given hanging weight. Ideas? [/QUOTE]
