And ask for YOUR offal Tim, because it is standard practice to give you someone else's offal off an animal that has been slaughtered just before you collected your meat.
I'd say normal ratios are around:
> Deadweight = 53% of liveweight
> Boned Out Meat = 61% of deadweight (or 32% of liveweight)
If you go to http://www.broomcroft.info, then Downloads, you can download a Dexter Carcass Stats pdf file with individual animal stats from various farm, to show the variation and more information re actual cuts.

Re: Abbatoir Costs
Thanks Colin, I'll dowenload that and see where we are.
SDounds like I was a bit ignorant on the offal stakes so will have to make sure I deal with that with the next one.
From your figures we were 57.5% of deadweight (didn't have a liveweight so can't do that figure).
