🦬 Thinking About Buying a Half Bison? Here’s What You Should Know! 🥩
When you purchase a half bison based on hanging weight, you don’t take home the full hanging weight in packaged meat. After cutting, trimming, deboning, and aging, you typically receive around 55–60% of the hanging weight in finished, packaged bison. 📦
Example – 400 lbs Hanging Weight
If a half bison weighs 400 lbs hanging weight, you can expect to take home around 220–240 lbs of packaged meat.
For this example, let’s say you receive 230 lbs of finished bison. That’s the actual amount that goes into your freezer. 🥩❄️
🦬 Want to Go Smaller?
Thinking about a 300–280 lbs hanging weight half bison?
From that size, you would typically receive around 170–180 lbs of packaged bison.
