Actually, that could be useful info, in game or out. But sticking with in game, suppose the characters come into the possession of an animal that can be used for food, whether through trade, or given to them by as a reward for services rendered, or whatever. When they decide it is time to turn that animal into dinner, the players may want to know just how much meat do they have. I know my players would want this info. So, it would be good to be prepared.
Ideally, I'd like to know this information for several animals, mainly livestock, but it might be good to know for game animals as well. I realize there can be a variation in the sizes of animals in a species, but even a general range could be useful. Like: Holstein cattle can weigh from ___ to ___, and can yield ___ to ___ of edible meat. (I'm not sure if the type of cow makes a difference; do Guernseys weigh roughly the same as a Holstein?)
I've made attempts to find this information myself. Either I'm picking the wrong sites, or I'm failing to find the useful info in the sites. So anyway, any help in this would be appreciated. And, I'm sure others could make use of it as well.
