What is a side of beef?
A side of beef is literally one half or one side of a harvested beef carcass divided into two halves as a preparation for the aging process. At this time the beef is weighed and this is when the "hanging weight" is measures. Below is a side of beef illutrating the eight primal cuts.
How many pounds of beef is in a whole, a side (half) or a quarter ?
The hanging weight of a whole Apple Brandy Beef averages 600 pounds, a side300 pounds, and a quarter 150 pounds. The total weight of meat that you receive at delivery is slightly less than the hanging weight as some weight is lost during the aging process.
