Hanging weight determines your cost
Our beef and pork is sold based on hanging weight, which is the weight of the meat while it is hanging to cure. Our hanging weights for a whole beef can vary between 700 to 850 pounds, varying because of the breed of the beef and the sex of the animal. The bulk of our herd is Angus so the hanging weight is typically on the larger side. The hanging weight will determine the total amount due. Hanging weight is the most accurate weight; however, it will be a higher weight than the total weight you will receive in your freezer due to trimming during processing. The loss due to trimming is approximately 30%. For example, if your hanging weight was 800 pounds, you can expect approximately 560 pounds of meat in your freezer.
