[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 556305, member: 7509"] I believe the poster meant that 65-70% is the hanging carcass wt percent of the live weight. Actual packaged beef will be anywhere from 45-65% of the hanging carcass weight depending on how cut - bone in or boneless, etc are you taking brisket and soup bones etc. and the particular animal's characteristics. In general for beef breeds and typical mixed cuts no organs no bones overall yield from live weigth to package weight is 60% x 60% or a bit more than 1/3 of the live weight. Limos may be a bit higher 35 or 36% but depends a lot on your packaging cutting prefs. Then a 1000lb live wt beef animal should yield about 350 lb of lean packaged beef if cut with no bone in etc [/QUOTE]
