I get 35% yield on a corn fed steer and 26% on a choice/prime beef heifer. The leaner the animal the higher the percentage yield will be. The fatter or more finished animal will yield more meat overall but at a lower percentage of meat yield of carcass weight. A dairy cow will have a higher percentage yield then a choice steer but she will yield less meat. Because there are set number of ribs on each side of beef there is a set number of steaks per side give or take one or so. For example 7 or 8 TBone and porterhouse per side and about a dozen rib steaks per side, so it is easy to see if you are getting ripped off. My experience has been that everyone thinks they are getting ripped off becaue they think their beef is better yielding then what it really is.
