Stop Guessing Your Deer Weight

Deer Weight Calculator

This helpful formula will help you determine your deer’s estimated live weight, field dressed weight, hanging weight, and edible meat weight you can use the following procedure to work backward. if you know the weight of edible meat, you can calculate the live weight, field dressed weight, hanging weight, and edible meat weight. you can calculate from any weight. if you know the hanging weight, you could estimate the field dressed weight and the live weight.

We will not take venison that has been tested by the DNR for CDW. Field dressed is body cavity cleaned out (no heart, lungs, intestines, etc). hanging weight is the field dressed deer minus the head, feet, and hide. Edible meat weight will vary depending upon: how the deer is processed and how many times the deer was shot and what part or parts of the deer were shot.

For example: if the whole deer is boned out completely, you will receive approximately 50% to 60% of the hanging weight in edible meat.

Live weight x 78% = field dress weight x 75% = hanging weight x 75% = edible meat weight

  • Example:
  • 100 lbs live weight x 78% = 78 lbs
  • Field dressed weight x 75% = 58 lbs
  • Hanging weight x 75% = 43 lbs edible meat

Edible meat weight x 1.35 = hanging weight x 1.33 = field dressed weight x 1.26 = live weight

  • Example:
  • 25 lbs edible meat x 1.35 = 34 lbs
  • Hanging weight x 1.33 = 44 lbs
  • Field dressed weight x 1.26 = 55 lbs live weight

A Few Things to Follow

Instructions

  • Bring the cleaned, boned-out meat in a food-safe bag/container - garbage bags are scented and have insecticide spray in them!
  • Bring the meat in a cooler or box with your name on it.
  • We do 10 lb. batches - so, if you have 26 lb. you can only do two items.
  • Bring your $50 deposit (non-refundable, we apply it to your bill at the end) it will show a $50 credit.
  • We add 1/3 pork to batches, so if you have 10 lb. green weight (we will add 5 lb.)
  • (1/3) of pork = you will end up with 15 lb (minus shrink).
  • Please, please be patient and do not call us, we will call you!
  • Make sure you understand the price and the per lb. billing! We will not negotiate your bill - seasoning, casings, and labor are very expensive.
  • Do not add water to a bucket (canning) of your deer.
  • If you do not pick up your deer when notified; within 7 days we will charge you storage of $1 per day or $30 per month. And if you “abandon” your meat, you will lose your deposit and we will discard your meat.
  • Remember we are only the processor, a quality product starts with quality meat and care at harvesting your venison.
