The hanging weight for the full side of beef was 312 pounds. I split this with four families. So our portion was about 78 pounds . That is then cut and packaged into roasts, steaks, and hamburger and wrapped in freezer paper. Hamburger is all packaged in 1 pound increments. Roasts are cut to fit into a crock pot and steaks (3/4") are put 2 per package.

One thing to note. This is the smallest cow we have ever bought from this particular farmer and I am not sure why. The previous year I purchased a half side of beef that was around 300lbs hanging weight. This year a full side of beef was the same size. So I do not think that this will last us a full year. Last year's purchase lasted a full 15 months. So be sure to ask your farmer what a 'typical' size cow is so you can be prepared.
