It really depends on the breed, the genetics within that breed that the individual sheep has, the condition/health of the sheep and how much it has been fed, and the target weight the farmer has chosen - a farmer is required to have a STEADY, CONSTANT product, meaning that he doesn't want to sell sheep that all have different weights.
Usually, ~56kg for a prime lamb enterprise. As carcass weight is only ~40% of the live animal weight, this would result in a carcass of 24kg.

What is live weight in livestock production?
"Live weight" refers to how much the animal in question weighs just before going through the slaughter line. The term is used as a comparison to post-slaughter weight, called "carcass weight" or "hanging weight" so that slaughter loss (head, tail, hooves, organs, and blood) can be measured.
