About 500 lbs, depending on the condition of the cow and her age. Typically carcass weight is ~50% that of live weight.

How much usable meat do you get from an extra lean 1700 pound hereford steer?

That's a pretty large steer. Assuming that the carcass weight is 40% of the steer's live weight, you'd get a carcass weight of 680 lbs; with that, minus the weight from bones, you could get about 620 lbs of meat off of him. But it's hard to say without knowing the carcass weight.


How much hanging weight do you get on 1000 lb cow after slaughter?

It very much depends on the breed & how the neat (singular of cattle) was finished. Many of our 'modern' breeds give you less meat in the package per pound of live weight. Some of the older breeds, in their original form, give a much better hanging or packaged weight. Hanging weight (after slaughter and dressing) is approx 2/3 of live weight. Packaged weight, after butchering, (cutting and trimming), you will loose approx another 1/3 of weight, leaving on average a third or a little more of original live weight. Some breeds however will give you much better packaged weights, as much as 45% packaged weight & 70+% hanging weight.

Is a pound of meat the same weight frozen?

Yes: a pound of frozen meat does weigh less than a pound of unfrozen meat. However, I was unable to obtain an accurate difference in weight or why this is so. Also the means used to freeze the meat, that is air cooled or cooled in a freezer with refrigeration pipes can vary the amount of weight lose. I will continue my research and try to add to this answer.
