Some few have the mistaken idsa
that if they deliver a 400-pound beef
carcass to the locker plant they ought
to get aboot the same number of

However, he explains, a 218-pound
side of beef will have only about #
pounds of steak. 80 pounds of roast.
60 pounds of stewing, grinding sad
boiling beef, with the remaining 28
pounds lost due to trimming, '
