Our prices for grassfed Angus are not the cheapest around. (I have wondered whether one outfit who advertises grassfed is actually selling grained. Either that or I would love to know how he hasn't gone under; he undercuts us grassfed sellers by almost half sometimes). So, while I want to properly set expectations for the final weight, I think customers would go running into the night if I tried to be ultraconservative and tell them to expect a 50% loss.
Based on the amount of meat we got and how much space it took up, I don't think we lost more than 25%. Maybe 30% tops. I think going forward I will use the ~1/3 figure that it looks like Jeanne and Butch use.
Thanks for all the comments. Please add any other thoughts--this is very helpful. We pick up the other steer Sat. and I think I will figure out a "way to weigh."
