Beef Yields
This chart represents the
approximate yield of consumer cuts of beef from a whole steer.
Beef Carcass Breakdown
With an average market (live or on hoof) weight of 1,150 lbs and the average
yield of 62.2%, the typical steer will produce a 715 lb. (dressed weight)
carcass.
The dressed beef (or carcass) will yield approximately 569 lbs. of red meat and
trim (take home meat - which includes the average weight of 27 lbs of variety
meat: liver, heart, tongue, tripe, sweetbreads and brains) and 146 lbs of fat,
bone and loss. This is roughly a yield of 80% from the dressed or hanging
weight - this is for a VERY LEAN Beef.
A High Quality, USDA Choice Beef will yield approximately 70% of the Hanging or
Dressed Weight. The yield on the take home meat weight from the live weight of
the (VERY LEAN) steer is approximately 50%.
