These charts will help you understand that “its not all meat.” They show the amount of meat to be processed, the weight that you can expect to receive and the percentage of loss through boning, fat removal and trimmings. These authoritative charts are the results of many cutting tests made by meat experts.
Of course, it must be realized that the size of the animal, the amount of fat, the grade of meat, and the amount of trimmings and bonding that is done by us will affect the percentage of meat that you will receive. These charts can be considered as a guide to the amount of meat received.
