If memory serves 60ish% of carcass weight should end up in boneless closely trimmed retail cuts.
So if your live steer is 1300#
Dresses 63%
Carcass weighs 819#
Yields 60%
Final product weighs 491#
That 491 is 38% of live weight so maybe the original post was referring to the cut loss from live to final product, which in that example is 62%
