[QUOTE="Roc, post: 1396759, member: 27149"] I seem to be getting low and inconsistent hanging weights, and am wondering if anyone has suggestions for what is causing this, and what can be done to improve it. I just sent 4 animals to the butcher all the same age (20 months) and breed (black Angus) all grass fed and finished one heifer live weight 1335lb got 54% hanging weight and three steers around 1150lb live weight that got 50% hanging weight. Being grass fed I expect lower percentages, but was figuring it should be closer to 58%.Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
