It depends on the size and how lean the cow or "cow" is. Assuming you are referring to an average market steer, which averages around 1250 lbs, the ideal percentage yield is less than 58%. If you get an average carcass weight of 700 lbs or more from that steer, and everyone eats an 8 oz. portion, it could feed an estimated 1400 people for certain.
In the 1960's a US farmer was feeding around 90 people. Today in 2011 it is around 155.
The number is always changing as conditions change. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation in 2009 the US farmer produces food and fiber for 155 people.
