FAQs
-
Hanging weight refers to the weight of an animal after it has been slaughtered and dressed, which means the removal of blood, head, hide, feet, entrails, and organs. Typically, the hanging weight is about 60% of the animal's live weight. For example, a steer that weighs 1000 lbs alive would have a hanging weight of around 600 lbs. This weight is also what butchers use to calculate processing fees. When purchasing meat in bulk, we take care of all the standard butchering costs for you. Measuring the carcass by its hanging weight is the most reliable method before we proceed to tailor the cuts to your preference.
-
Also known as Final Weight or Take Home Weight, is the amount the customer takes home after packaging. Typically, this is 60-65% of the hanging weight. The reduction is due to two factors: water loss and bone loss. Water loss happens during the dry aging process, where beef is hung for 10-14 days to tenderize. The second reduction occurs when meat is cut away from the bones. Thus, the more boneless cuts requested, the lower the packaged weight. However, a lower weight doesn't imply less meat; it means fewer bones. Requesting marrow or knuckle bones for broth you retain some of the weight.
