A 1200 pound cull cow hanging weight about 600 pounds.Then after cut and wrap probably 420 pounds of hamburger.

I think the calculation is 60% of live for hanging wgt and 60% of that for boned and ground.
About the same as your number.

Fat cows not shelly old cows.

Probably 55% dressed an lose another 35% cut and wrap.whatever way you figure around 420 to 450 pounds of hamburger.

Deboned you’d lose weight. 40% of live weight is average take home but if you debone it I’d expect you’d be looking at 400 or under.

Plus your kill fee, disposal fee, and cutting/wrapping charge which adds about a buck a pound to the carcass weight for us.

Even with everything in, we have had no trouble selling meat, quarters or sides.

There has been a change of attitude in consumers over the past two years - they do not question the price.

Thanks everyone
We usta process all our own meat
One 30-30 shell , saws and grinders
Then coyote bait with the guts and hide
Too bad we lost it along the way
