What species has the dirtiest mouth?

I'm afraid it has to be humans. Humans are greedy and selfish. They eat and eat and eat while other animals know how to take care of themselves. Toothpaste makes no difference. We are also the dirtiest species to roam on Earth, we evolved from monkey to trash. Our knowledge is not always useful. It's not hard to believe this, all you have to do is compare yourself with other species,then you'll see. You've got to admit, we ARE lazy. I mean, we have showers, animals have tongues. We've got plates, they've got the ground. We've got amazing food, they've got grubs and flesh. Now you see? Its logical. I hope this helped.

How much hanging weight do you get on 1000 lb cow after slaughter?

It very much depends on the breed & how the neat (singular of cattle) was finished. Many of our 'modern' breeds give you less meat in the package per pound of live weight. Some of the older breeds, in their original form, give a much better hanging or packaged weight.

Hanging weight (after slaughter and dressing) is approx 2/3 of live weight. Packaged weight, after butchering, (cutting and trimming), you will loose approx another 1/3 of weight, leaving on average a third or a little more of original live weight. Some breeds however will give you much better packaged weights, as much as 45% packaged weight & 70+% hanging weight.
