How much meat you get out of a cow will depend on the size of the cow that is being slaughtered.

But for example if you have a a 1,200 lb cow with  ½ inch fat and an average muscling the 1,200 lb cow will yield a 750 pound cow carcass.

The 750 pound cow carcass will net you around 490 lbs of boneless trimmed beef.
