Default Net weight of butchered meat

Can anyone tell me the formula for calculating the percentage of packaged meat from the live weight of the animal? Seems to me that the hanging weight at the locker is 60% of the live weight. But then, that is further reduced as it is cut & wrapped. Been a long time since I saw the ratios of live to processed meat. Would appreciate some "remembering" help here. Thanks
