Last year we weighed the meat. Totally boned out. 2-3 year old bulls and average cows. The cow meat weighed 99# and we did it in 2 bags. The bulls totalled 140-150# and one was in 3 bags and one in 4. This year, no scale and we did all 4 animals in 3 bags each. The cow bags weighed in the low to mid 40# range and bulls upper 40 to about 50#. Both cows this year were exceptionally large compared the cows we killed in the past. As big as our 2-3 year old bulls. We had minimal carrying to do this year, but I did have each bag of meat on my back at one point for my two animals. We also shot antelope bucks that yeilded about 25-30# of meat each and after all the butchering was done, we each had 200 a 150 qt and 50 qt cooler full of meat for the freezer. I know my brother pays to hunt and shoots 6-8 year old bulls and he gets about 120-130 qts off one bull instead of bull and cow and antelope.
