Butchering beef ( of which I have done more than a few) is different than butchery elk. Completely different yields.
The biggest cow I ever shot weighed 330 on the hook...dressed and hide, head, and legs off. That was the last time I had a processor do one for me. I don't remember how much meat I got back, or even if I had them bone it or not.
