Last updated 2nd April 2014. In 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto launched bitcoin as the world's first cryptocurrency. The code is open source, which means it can be modified by anyone and freely used for other projects. Many cryptocurrencies have launched with modified versions of this code, with varying levels of success. Litecoin was announced in 2011 with the goal of being the 'silver' to bitcoin's 'gold'. At the time of writing, Litecoin has the highest market cap of any mined cryptocurrency, after bitcoin. Here's our guide to show you the crucial difference between bitcoin and litecoin.
An average hanging weight for a half of a beef is 400 pounds. Standard-cut processing results in an approximately 38% yield loss. So if you have the beef âstandard-cutâ, you would expect to take home approximately 248 pounds of packaged meat.
Looking at the income side, the FBM records from 2010 indicate the average weight of calves sold at weaning time was 594 pounds. Using a current price of $158 per hundredweight (cwt) for 600 pound cattle and rounding the weight off at 600 pounds means a weaned calf value of $948.
