Understanding the yield of meat from Hot Hanging weight can be a bit tricky. As the carcass ages, it typically loses about 2% of its weight. Afterward, the carcass is trimmed of excess fat and often deboned to create certain cuts, further reducing the weight.
For a half lamb weighing around 32-35 lbs, you can typically expect to yield about 16-20 lbs of meat. The actual yield will depend on factors like the fat cover and the specific cuts you request. Here’s a rough breakdown:
These numbers can vary depending on the butchering style and whether you opt for ground lamb or keep more bone-in cuts.
