EX 750LBS hanging carcass x .63 avg is 472 and half that so roughly 200-240lbs of meat.
I give this for an example because some people see $8 a LB for 1/4 or halfs after butcher and think dang thats high or at $5LB hanging im getting a good deal well. Once you cut that animal up you loose alot of weight. which is what make the $8 a LB meat.
