I wonder if something happened to your elk, and It took him a while to skim meat from other customers to replace the meat? Could be why you got so little back with cuts/burger that you didn't want and no tenderloins....Just a thought.

I was wondering that myself?

THIS GUYS ORIGINAL POST DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE :dunno: ....HE SAID THE BULL IN QUARTERS WEIGHED 190 LBS...My 5x5 west side bull this year hung at 440lb. and I got a 59% return (260 lbs of meat back) which is pretty good. You're typically looking for 55-60% return on an animal.
WHY WOULD HIS 4 QUARTERS ONLY BE 190 LBS IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Unless your bull had a ton of blood shot meat or something, I don't see how you could get only 73 pounds of meat. 150 would be more like it.

You're not going to get 150 pounds of meat out of 190 pounds of unbutchered elk quarters. About 50% is typical, which should be around 90 pounds. If some of the 90 was spoiled, bloodshot, or dirty then 73 could be reasonable.
