[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 670996, member: 9"] Can't venture opinion on breeds other than Longhorns...lol. However, "on average" for any breed: Hanging Weights in area of 45 to 55% of live weight. Packaged Weights in area of 30 to 40% of live weight. Packaged Weights vary a lot according to what cuts one is willing to save and eat. If one's hanging or packaged weights are significantly more than the above "averages", then the animals had too much extra fat and bones that are not edible (by humans, that is). One generally loses from 200 lbs and up (depending on live weight of animal) for bones, hide, guts, head, and other stuff one usually doesn't eat. So, rough estimates: 1000# animal = 500 lbs hanging; 350 lbs packaged weight. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
