Thanks for all the useful information. I process my own deer, and I am hoping to have the opportunity to try my hand at an elk within the next few years. For anyone who does it themselves, these kinds of statistics are very handy!

those are some amazing numbers. I am very picky when I process an animal.. if its not meat I dont take it... there is some waste but my havalon helps cut down on that a lot but I dont get a fraction of what you get. I cut up a cow for a guy last year and got 50 lbs exactly... nothing below the first joint, no rib or neck meat. I have been trying to get more and more "adventurous" when I cut meat to get a higher yield but still not getting anything near what you are.
Don't you just love it when someone says it weighted 1000 pounds? I always try to be the first one to tell them they are full of s&(t. Some folks just don't really have a clue
