Being a former butcher of 5 years I can tell you personally, you got robbed. You got a little less than half of your meat. Id go make a bad name for him while hes busy. As well as placing a public article in the local paper. When I used to butcher meat for a living, we were honest. When someone brought in a 150lb deer and we butchered it the way they wanted they were luck to get 1 1/2 grocery bags full, it all depends on the cuts, but all our customers got their own meat back, we never mixed batches. Sounds to me this guy needs his head ran through the grinder a few times.
Question to the butcher? I have been told to estimate the live weight of a deer is take the field weight and add 30%, correct? 150 pound + 45= 195 live weight. Second, takefield dressedweight and subtract 30% and you will get the amount of processed meatweight? 150 # - 45=105, am I close?
