Buying Bulk

The average dressing percentage for most beef cattle is about 63%. A 1000 lb. animal would “dress out” at about 600 lbs. The live weight of most of our beef is between 1200-1400 lbs. On average our hanging weights are between 800 lbs and 900 lbs.

You take home the finished cuts or “yield”. The percentage of the hanging weight that remains is called the “yield” and is generally between 70 - 75% of hanging weight. This percentage varies based on a number of factors including: A whole beef costs you approximately $5.71 - $5.94 per pound of take-home meat.
