From a google search
A mature cow will yield 160-180 pounds of boned out meat. These were all Montana elk. A carcas will yield roughly 30% boned out meat, so a 450 pound (on the hoof) cow elk would yield about 150 pounds of boneless meat.

My son said 120-130 lbs off his Colorado cow elk.

Don’t forget the 10 pounds you’ll lose when you hunt it down and pack it out of the woods.

Are you going on an elk hunt or looking at buying a farm raised one for food? Elk meat is awesome.
