[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 793673, member: 7509"] Was there an overnight stay between delivery and slaughter? I have had one or two animals lose 75 lbs on an overnight stay. Can't really explain it but that was the difference between my liveweight one afternoon and the processors live weight the next morning. Both are good scales. At 1090 lb (assuming that is correct) - 75 lb shrink x 60% = 609 lb hanging. Not that far from your 570 hanging, especially if your wt was based on a truck scale. I would be careful about blaming the butcher. Stuff happens. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
