I would expect somewhere around 400 lbs or more. I talked to a guy today that just had one processed that got a 60% yield, but that sounds high to me. He said he got 600 lbs of packaged meat from a 1000 lb steer.

I know $2500 sounds like a lot for that much beef, but it's not, especially with me paying the processing fee out of that. Processing fee runs from 50-70 cents per live pound at most places. I haven't asked the Brickyard what their price is but I expect it's on the high end. They're supposed to be the best around.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
