Additional Information About Weight Loss

When hanging beef for dry aging, the percentage of weight lost typically falls between 10% and 20%, depending on several factors, such as:

  • Length of Hanging Time: For a standard 14-day aging period, the weight loss is usually around 7% to 10%. For longer aging periods, such as 21 to 30 days, weight loss can reach up to 20%.
  • Environmental Conditions: Factors like temperature, humidity, and airflow affect the rate of moisture loss. Optimal conditions (~1°C/34°F and 80-85% humidity) minimize excessive weight loss.
  • Type of Cut: Bone-in cuts generally lose less weight compared to boneless cuts. Leaner cuts will also lose less weight than fattier ones.
  • Trim Loss: In addition to moisture evaporation, the dried surface of the beef (the "pellicle") must be trimmed before sale or processing. This can account for an additional 5% to 10% loss in usable weight.

Total Yield Loss: Combining moisture loss and trim loss, total yield loss after hanging can range from 15% to 25% of the carcass weight.

This is a price guide only. Weights will vary depending on the animal. Not all animals are the same, so there may be slight variations in the weights.

levenvale farm

Levenvale Farm was one of the original dairy farms of Bellingen, spanning the banks of Hydes Creek. At its peak, there were 200 milking cows roaming these pastures, with 100 acres of cultivation, pigs and a busy dairy, producing up to 1 million litres of milk annually. In 2019 Sam and Georgina Baker became the stewards of the now 500 acres of Levenvale Farm, converting it from dairy farm to organic beef cattle and have dedicated their time to revitalising the soil for small-scale, nutrient dense food production. Through education, community and collaboration, we are creating a model to reconnect the way we farm, eat and live.
