[QUOTE="Ridgefarmer63, post: 1442206, member: 23951"] I've only been doing this 15 years but, this is what I've found. You take home 50%-70% of the hanging weight. (the majority fall into the 55% to 62% range) Yes, I weigh the boxes on my scale and have witnessed 90% of the rail weight numbers (assuming their scale is accurate). This is from two different butchers over the years. One obvious factor that affects %'s is whether the animal was deboned or not. Another thing I've noticed is breed differences. Seems to me that the ratio for Angus is better that Herefords. Now before all the Hereford guys slam me, my sample size on Herefords is very small (maybe 5 Hereford's verses 70 or 80 Angus's), but it is what my numbers are showing. [/QUOTE]
