Question 5

What is the difference between Live Weight, Hanging Weight, and Package Weight?"

Accepted Answer

*Live Weight is the total live weight on the hoof before the animal is slaughtered
*Hanging Weight is the weight after the hide, head, etc. have been removed and the carcass is hot. This is before the meat is hung to dry age, cut up and processed.
*Package Weight is the "Take Home" weight. This is the end result after it has been dry aged and trimmed into your specific cuts.
 
For Beef, the Hanging Weight is approx 55-57% of the Live Weight. The Package Weight is typically around 60% of of the Hanging Weight. Every cow yields differently.
 
For Pork, the average Hanging Weight is usually about 70-75% of the Live Weight. The average Package Weight is usually about 55% of the Live Weight.
