[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1442335, member: 14585"] 1250 lbs live weight x 44% = 550 lbs take home Here's my math: 1250 lb steer (over night stand, no gut fill) x 62.5% = 781 h.w. 8-9 days hanging = 30% shrinkage and trim losses 30% x 781 = 234 lbs 781 - 234 = 547 lbs take home 547 lbs is [b]43.8%[/b] of 1250 lbs or [b] Roughly 44% of live weight[/b] Hanging 15 - 29 days results in over 33% shrink with trim losses, dry aging vs wet aging will be even more Gut filled 1300 lb steer x 42% live weight = 546 lbs take home 1300 x 60.1% = 781 lbs h.w. 781 lbs x 70% = 547 lbs 547 lbs is 42.1% of 1300 [/QUOTE]
