[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1544065, member: 25884"] I have found that anything that is 1/2 dairy will be approx 1/4 of live weight in actual take home meat. So a 1200 lb live weight would be about 300 lbs. take home meat. If you consistently figure that then when you get a little more it will be a bonus. Yes it depends on the "finish" but that is about a good overall consistent amount to figure. I tell people who are getting jersey beef from me that if it weighs 1000 live, it will hang at 500 and get 250 lbs meat average. Considering that here he is worth about $.40 lb live weight.... meat in the freezer is a much better choice. [/QUOTE]
