Take the weight of the carcass (or carcass weight) and the overall weight of the hide, viscera, head, tail, ears, legs and excess fat, add them together and you should get the liveweight of the butchered animal. Another way is take the weight of the meat you got off of that cow, and multiply by 50%, because the rule of thumb is that total meat is 50% of the liveweight of that animal.
