Estimates use approximately 60% live-to-hanging weight and 58% hanging-to-packaged beef. Freezer space is estimated at about 1 cubic foot for every 35 pounds of packaged beef. Actual live weight, final price, yield, cut quantities, package sizes, trimming, and storage needs will vary.
This calculator does not reserve shares, create customers or invoices, or send information to checkout. Results are estimates only. Actual live weight, hanging weight, finished yield, processing fees, and final pricing may vary due to animal size, genetics, trimming, customer processing selections, and normal variations during harvesting and butchering. Use of this calculator does not constitute a quote, contract, or guarantee of final weight or price. Please contact JD Cattle Co. for an official estimate and current pricing.
