We raise our hogs to roughly 200 pounds on the low end and 350 pounds on the heavy end. When the hogs are dressed out (and then taken to the butcher), they have lost roughly 35% of their live weight. The dressed-out carcass is what the "hanging weight" comes from, and can be between 130 pounds and 230 pounds.
