[QUOTE="snake67, post: 1009942, member: 17764"] We have done this several times over the past ten years. The man comes to the house - puts his mobile cooler into the shop and plugs into my 220. We kill the cow. Hang her in the cooler. Later he comes with his custom cutting trailer - all clean - stainless steel and food grade plastic inside - the whole shebang. Wife and I help him cut and grind. We are always in the same ball park as your friend. You take her apart and trim and grind her. It takes a big cow to get more than 350 pounds of burger. From comparison - 1326 pounds on the hoof last year - weighed on my scale - killed, hung, trimmed and ground - right in my yard - 342 pounds of burger or maybe a bit more but this is the number that sticks in my head. Bone content, weight in guts, hide, head, feet and legs - take them all away there is not that much left. This guy got exactly what he should have got - the butcher was square with him. I know it is tough to believe, but there really ARE honest slaughter and butcher outfits out there. Not easy to stay in business if you are not. Best to all Bez [/QUOTE]
