What is Hanging Weight?
Good question. Hanging weight is the weight of the animal before it is processed into steaks, sausage, roasts, etc. This will be more than what you actually take home with you. When the animal is processed, fat, bone, and other waste is trimmed to make the various cuts. Therefore, when the meat is packaged and boxed, it will weigh less than it did when it was hanging.
For example, a half that is 90lbs hanging weight will be approximately 65lbs in take-home weight, when you pick up your pork. You can maximize your take-home weight by ordering ham hocks for example - items
that would be discarded.
