Live Weight - The weight of an animal when it arrives at the processor.
​
Hanging Weight - This is the dressed out weight of the animal. With pigs, this equals about 75% of the live weight.
​
Yield Weight - This is the weight after the livestock has been cut into the various packages. This is what you will take home. It is about 70% of the hanging weight.

PRICE BREAKDOWN
You are not charged per pound of take-home meat.
​
You are charged per pound of hanging weight (e.g. $2.99 per pound OR market price). The amount of take-home meat will vary depending on details like the breed, butcher process, how long it hangs, etc.
​
Hanging weight is determined immediately after the animal is harvested-and hung. After it is weighed, cows 'hang' for 14-28 days. This is an ideal range and it improves the taste.
​
Actual take-home meat will be 25-40% less than hanging weight. This is normal due to moisture loss during hanging, breed (ratio of meat to bone / non-meat) and cartilage / bones / waste during the butcher process.
​
You should expect a mix of steaks, roasts, ground and stew meat. Roughly speaking, 1/2 of your meat will be ground and stew, 1/4 will be roasts (chuck, shoulder, rump, sirloin tip etc.) and 1/4 will be steaks (sirloin, prime / rib, T-bone, filet mignon, tenderloin etc.)
