Click to expand... That was a typo on my part - you are supposed to lose 1/3 You should get about 62% hanging weight from live weight.

Jeanne - Simme Valley Well-known member Joined Dec 9, 2004 Messages 14,943 Reaction score 7,022 Location Central Upstate New York Jan 13, 2011 #7 Correct - but the steps inbetween are generally 62% hanging from live - and 66% (2/3) from hanging to freezer. Final product is about 40% from live to freezer.
