You will usually get around 55-60 percent hanging weight. Then the dressed weight will be about 80% of that. It will make a difference on how you have it cut and what you keep. The more bone in cuts then your percentage will be higher.
Your $2.00 per pound hanging weight is cheap for a beef steer. It would be about right for a diary breed.
The processing is usually around 85 cents to a dollar a pound on the finished weight. It depends on if you have hamburger pattys and sausage made the more proceed the higher the cost.
I just had two 1400 lbs beef steers done. The hanging weight was 1600 lbs or 58%. The total proceeding cost was just under $1200. Had larger packages and no patties.
