It varies, but the usual "hanging weight" is around 300 pounds per "side". It will be less after aging and butchering.... the total "take home" weight varies depending on how lean the animal was and exactly how it's butchered, but 200 pounds is a good rough estimate. Very lean animals will give a slightly higher yield, and exceptionally fat animals will have a lower yield, down to maybe 170 pounds or so (most of the fat is simply thrown away during the butchering process, though if you actually want it for some reason the butcher will probably save it for you if you ask). If you don't give specific instructions, somewhere between 60 and 80 pounds of the total will normally be in the form of ground beef (hamburger).
