Title: Weight/Meat percentage... Post by: Mike on August 09, 2018, 06:42:45 pm What’s the average of live weight to boneless meat on a hog? For example... if you get 90 lbs of boneless meat, what would the live weight be? I was thinking 30% for some reason.

couple a years ago i butchered a 805 # bar that made over 400 # of sausage and 15 gallons of lard . and a wagon load of dog feed ! Title: Re: Weight/Meat percentage... Post by: Mike on August 10, 2018, 07:14:24 am Thanks John... I didn’t think it was that high.
