Fleece Yield (kg) to Carcass (lbs)
Need to audit a US slaughterhouse yield using only international shearing records? This tool bridges the gap between the two harvests and crosses unit borders. Input the weight of the raw metric fleece (kg) to instantly calculate the imperial hanging carcass weight (lbs). The multiplier is exactly 22.0462.
Two-Step Mathematical Reversal
Going from a metric wool clip to an imperial hanging carcass requires two transformations.
Step A: The 10x Biological Link
Because fleece is 5% of the live weight and the carcass is 50%, the carcass is always exactly 10 times heavier than the fleece. Multiply fleece kg by 10 to get carcass kg.
Step B: Metric Shift
Next, multiply that metric hanging weight by 2.20462 to translate it into the imperial system (pounds).
The Combined Multiplier
10 × 2.20462 = 22.0462
