[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 556307, member: 1744"] Lims are a high yielding breed but the actual percentage will depend on the individual animal and how it is raised...some steers are just bigger and fatter than others. We figure 60% of live to hanging and a 35-38% loss from hanging to meat packages. A 10 wt Limousin steer is a bit on the small side...we like to process at 1200+ lbs and a well finished Lim can easily hang at 800#. Our two year Lim bull hung at 935# and was 1495# live and was very well muscled. Hope this helps...DMc [/QUOTE]
