Carcass weight is the weight of what's left over of an animal that has been slaughtered, bled out, skinned, gutted and head, tail and legs are removed. Hot carcass weight is the weight of that carcass before it's put in the cooler to cure.

How many cows does it take to get 560 million pounds of meat?

Since no carcass weight is the same, we will only use the average carcass weight taken from a Hereford-Angus cross steer that was finished at 1400 lbs. Doing the math, the carcass weight (dressing yield) of a 1400 lb steer is 0.58 x 1400 = 812 lbs. Then the amount of ready-to-eat meat (meat deboned and after cooking) from that carcass weight is 686 x 0.49 = 400 lbs. However, assuming by "meat" you are referring to the meat off the carcass and not from that cut off the carcass and cooked, we will use the carcass weight for this question. Thus, the number of animals it takes to get 560,000,000 lb of meat is: 560,000,000/812 = 689655.1724 = ~689,656 cattle.


When you kill and butcher a chicken how much average weight does the carcass lose?

The average live chicken, once butchered, will lose approximately 20 percent of its weight. There is approximately 1 pound of unusable chicken parts removed from the carcass.


How much weight is meat or usable in a 1000 pound cow?

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.

That all depends on the liveweight, age and breed of the animal. The rule of thumb, however is that the warm carcass weight or dressing yield is typically 58% of the liveweight.

What is Carcass weight?

Carcass weight refers to the weight of an animal after it has been slaughtered and processed, excluding non-edible parts such as the skin, head, feet, and internal organs. It is a key metric in the meat industry, as it helps determine the yield of meat that can be obtained from an animal. Carcass weight is typically used to assess the efficiency of production and is an important factor in pricing and marketing meat products.
