Lamb Data – Lambs are smaller and well suited for fitting into family freezers and smaller family meals. Lambs generally have about a 50% yield for the carcass weight and then about a 75% yield of meat from that carcass or about 34 pounds of meat from a whole 90 pound lamb. Many people are surprised at how small the chops are. Our lambs are smaller in general than the lambs used for processing
for the grocery stores (ours are about 90-100 pounds live and the western lambs can be 140 pounds). The number of chops and steaks varies depending on the thickness you want. A larger framed lamb will yield bigger cuts. 16 shoulder chops (or you could have shoulder roasts) Fowl and Poultry 1. Turkey,
Dressed weights are about 75% of live weight. Most chicken is processed at a 4.5 pounds live
weight. The actual meat is 30 - 40% of the dressed weight. How much meat do you get off a whole chicken?If you are eating the whole bird then you'll have between 1.8 to 3 pounds of “meat”. (That will include even the skin). Remember this numbers are raw meat only considering the weight loss from the bones. When you cook it, you will loose an extra 45–60% due to water and fat loss.
How much meat do you get from a whole chicken per pound?For example, 1 pound of raw whole chicken after frying (floured, but not battered) will yield 0.47 pounds of edible product (flour coating, meat and skin).
How much meat do you get from a meat chicken?Convert your figures to a per pound basis by dividing the total cost per bird by the expected market weight. The ready-to-cook weight will be 70 to 75 percent of the live bird weight.
