From live weight to a detailed carcass, meat & fat estimate
Use a scale weight when available, or estimate weight from heart girth and body length. Tape measurement defaults to inches (in), and every calculation stage is shown separately.
355 kg live weight
Entered weight
Illustrative carcass composition
These four parts are a 100% visual planning split of hot carcass. Individual fat/lean/bone requires actual carcass measurement.
Study projections for blood, hide & by-products
Show more by-product study projections
These projections scale mean by-product weights from a sample averaging 167.64 kg live weight. Age had a significant effect, so these are not individual-animal measurements.
This tool is for planning/education. Breed, age, sex, gut fill, hydration, muscling, body condition, slaughter/dressing method, chilling, bone-in/boneless cutting and trimming change the result. Use scale weight and actual processing measurements for final commercial settlement.
