It appears from what information you have given that the amount of meat is about right. Of course there is NO WAY of knowing for sure without a live weight to calculate the numbers with. You may think they weighed 1400 lbs but they may have only weighed 1000 or 1200 lbs. Of course it could be the butcher.
Our regular butcher retired several years ago, so we had to find someone else. I tried one butcher that everyone raved about, I took a 1500 lb steer in.

The next time around I went to another butcher, small family outfit. Ever since then the amount of meat as been right when calculating it with the live weight.
