somebody shut me the fark up.
Lots of bones and skin so it it a low yield.
I always cook a smaller pig and supplement with shoulders/butts for a higher yield and help to keep the price in line.

My numbers come close to this. I figure 1 Lbs of raw feeds 1 guest. Example 80 Lbs. pig feeds 80 guests. If I had a lot at stake I would probably throw on 1 or more butts to cook together to be safe. Many of the cooks I've done also involve "pot luck" sides which can cut meat portions down a bit.

I was coming in to see if the number I was told was common and it seems to be. I was told 38%.

When you run the 35% Numbers, your eventually right at a pound per person figuring 1/3rd pound each. Interesting.
