Depending on the body condition score and the liveweight of the "cow," usually the carcass weight of the animal is around 58% of the liveweight of the animal. The edible or ready-to-eat (or cutability) percentage of a Hereford "cow" is typically 49% of the carcass weight.

∙ 12y agoIs this on a per-day basis or per lactation? You might be lucky if you get one or two gallons from a Hereford per day. Herefords are not the milky type of cattle, if you want a cow with plenty of milk but still able to produce a beefy calf, go Dexter or Red Poll. Herefords are for beef only, not dairy.

∙ 10y agoHow much of what does a Hereford cow produce? Milk? If that's what you're asking about, then she typically produces less than a third of what a Holstein produces on average. In other words, if a Holstein produces an average of 30 lbs of milk per milking, then the Hereford cow would only produce around 10 lbs of milk per milking.
