The amount of lean meat compared to the total carcass weight is referred to as "dressing percentage" or "carcass yield." This metric indicates the efficiency of meat production from the animal and is important for evaluating the economic value of meat processing. A higher dressing percentage signifies a greater proportion of usable meat from the carcass.
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.
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.

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.
Carcass-Weight Equivalent (CWE) is the weight of meat cuts and meat products converted to an equivalent weight of a dressed carcass. Includes bone, fat, tendons, ligaments, and inedible trimmings (whereas product weight may or may not).
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.

Carcass Weight Equivalent
The amount of gravity pulling on an object is called weight. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object's mass.
Cattle are priced according to the quality and amount of meat in the carcass rather than by their weight alone. Thus, there is a growing trend toward selling cattle on "grade and yield."
No. The amount an object weighs is simply called its "weight".
