Fleece Yield (kg) to Carcass (kg)
Need to audit a slaughterhouse yield using only shearing records? This tool bridges the gap between the two major sheep harvests. Input the weight of the raw fleece (kg) to instantly calculate what the hanging carcass weight (kg) likely was. The multiplier is exactly 10.

The 10x Biological Relationship
While meat and wool seem entirely disconnected, they both represent fixed percentages of the original live animal. By comparing those two percentages, we can create a direct mathematical link between them.
The Percentages
- Fleece: 5% of live weight.
- Carcass: 50% of live weight.
- Because 50 is exactly 10 times larger than 5, the carcass will always be exactly 10 times heavier than the fleece.
The Simple Formula
Fleece kg × 10
= Carcass kg
About this
Multiply the fleece weight by 10.
