How Much Meat From a Whole Cow? (1300 Lb. Grain-Fed Beef)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
People are always asking me how much meat a beef will produce. Every beef is slightly different based on build and the cuts the customer wants, so the best thing to do is just take a video of how different beef turn out. This video shows the meat a customer got from one of our grain fed beef that weighed 1300 lbs. live weight. Total take home weight was about 570 lbs. That is a 43% yield. Not all beef do that well but this one did:)

Missed yall's videos and appreciate the detail you go into!
Sounds like they owe you at least another 100 pounds somebody's stealing
How much did it cost for that 570 lbs?

As of April 2023 our price is $2.03 per lb. live weight. In this case the total cost was $2,689.00. That includes $50 extra for making 50 lbs. of patties. Finished product came out to $4.72 per lb. We charge by live weight, not finished weight because the finish weight is always affected by the customers choice of cuts. For example boneless cuts mean less take home weight than bone-in cuts. Obviously the more bone in cuts you get, the more bone & thus more weight you will be taking home.

That yield is not the true yield. You could even more than double that in terms of calories if you include the offal, blood, skin, marrow and fat trimmings. These are all edible and more nutritious than the meat itself.

You have a point there, when I lived in Africa I realized there were much more edible parts to a cow than most Americans realize, BUT we find that our customers don't usually enjoy beef skin & offal, so we don't include that in the processing unless they request it. Custom butchering means that we try to process the beef how our customers prefer.

@@showaltersmeats4377Western palate is so picky. Only 40% of live weight ends up in western table. In Asia, nothing is wasted as food except the hair and bones. I wonder how the food agencies like FAO measure how many calories are really counted when they say only 18% of global calories is from meat.
