Estimating Your Yield
How Much will I get?
Deer that have been properly handled after harvest will normally yield an average of 55% boneless meat to dressed weight when processed by our standards. Approximately 1/2 of the boneless meat will be "trim" which is only suitable for grinding. To estimate the return from your deer try out this form:
Venison Yield
Dressed Weight |
||
Multiply by yield (55%) |
X.55 |
|
Boneless Eatable Meat |
||
Multiply by 50% |
X.50 |
|
Trim for Grinding |
||
Divide by 7.5 |
/ 7.5 |
|
Batches of Sausage |

Example of completed Venison Yield Form: |

Dressed Weight |

Multiply by yield (55%) |
X.55 |
|
Boneless Eatable Meat |
66# |
|
Multiply by 50% |
X.50 |
|
Trim for Grinding |
33# |
|
Divide by 7.5 |
/ 7.5 |

Batches of Sausage |

In this example you would be able to plan on four batches of sausage. The extra venison could be divided between the four batches.
