More recently, there has been a reduction in the number of yield and weight classes in the national index grid, while focusing on leanness and core weight hogs of 75 to 90 kg.This provides incentives to producers to market hogs that fall in that core area, in line with consumer's demand for leaner pork.roducers receive their payment through their marketing organization on a dressed carcass weight basis. The principal driving force towards leaner hogs in Canada has been the carcass classification and settlement system which, since 1968, has provided a national standard set of weight and leanness categories.
The weight difference from live to hanging is from loss of blood, head, hide, hooves, viscera, lungs and heart. The hanging weight is usually about 40% of the live weight. So, a 1200 lb animal would have a hanging weight of 720 lbs (estimated). (A half share would then be 360 lbs, and a 1/4 would be 180 lbs). This is the weight we base our per lb charges on. The butcher also charges cut/wrap fees based on this weight, plus extra if a customer has requested additional bones or organ meats. The last weight is the âfinalâ or âtake-homeâ weight.
