As the locksmith stood upon the step, it was chained and locked behind him, and the raven, in furtherance of these precautions, barked like a lusty house-dog. We agree to keep our own secret, and to work together in furtherance of our own schemes.
Assume a live weight of â130 lbs. Using the common dressing percentage of 52% we see a yield of: Hot Carcass Weight â68 lbs. Then, using the common yield of 72% from hot carcass to retail we see a yield of: â49 lbs. of âtake homeâ cuts. Most lamb cuts are bone-in.
The direct method of measuring the actual meat yield of a carcass is to take the carcasses to a commercial boning room where the butchers remove the meat from the bones. 1  Using cashmere wether goats aged between 2.5 and 4.5 years with live weights ranging from 27 to 79 kg the following meat yields were measured: 1  The carcass weights ranged from 12 to 33 kg. 2  Averaged over the entire kill, for every 1 kg increase in live weight, boneless meat increased 0.307 kg (Figure 2)
