Carcass (kg) to Boneless Meat (lbs)
Importing a metric hanging carcass to a US butcher shop? This advanced tool takes a sheep's hanging weight in kilograms and calculates the final, freezer-ready boneless meat yield in pounds. The combined multiplier is 1.5432.
Two Conversions in One Step
Converting from a metric carcass to imperial boneless meat requires factoring in the weight lost during deboning, and then translating the mass system. Here is the math behind the 1.5432 factor:
Deboning (70% Yield)
A hanging carcass is approximately 70% meat and 30% bone/fat trim. So we multiply the carcass kg by 0.70 to find the boneless kg.
Metric to Imperial
To convert those metric kilograms of meat into imperial pounds, we multiply by 2.20462.
Combined Formula
0.70 × 2.20462 = 1.5432
