About 500 lbs, depending on the condition of the cow and her age. Typically carcass weight is ~50% that of live weight.

How much usable meat do you get from an extra lean 1700 pound hereford steer?

That's a pretty large steer. Assuming that the carcass weight is 40% of the steer's live weight, you'd get a carcass weight of 680 lbs; with that, minus the weight from bones, you could get about 620 lbs of meat off of him. But it's hard to say without knowing the carcass weight.


How much is a sheep worth in meat?

The value of a sheep in terms of meat depends on the market price per pound of lamb or mutton. Typically, a sheep can yield around 45-60% of its live weight in meat. The value also varies based on the cut and quality of the meat.


How many sausages can you get from 1 pig?

The number of sausages you can get from one pig varies depending on the pig's size, breed, and how the meat is processed. On average, a typical market pig can yield about 100 to 150 pounds of usable meat. If you consider that a pound of sausage requires about 1.5 to 2 pounds of meat (after trimming and mixing), you could produce roughly 50 to 100 pounds of sausage from one pig, translating to several hundred sausages.


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.

Is a pound of meat the same weight frozen?

Yes: a pound of frozen meat does weigh less than a pound of unfrozen meat. However, I was unable to obtain an accurate difference in weight or why this is so.
