Hanging weight or on the hoof

[Guest guest]

On the hoof refers to the animal before it's butchered.

Hanging weight is after the animal is butchered, gutted and skinned but not

cut up into steaks, etc.

I thought hanging weight and on the hoof were the same thing. What's the

difference? Everything I've gotten so far has been based on hanging

weight, but a goat I've ordered will be " on the hoof " .

Ah. Thank you. That probably explains why I was having such a hard

time getting those organs - which I thought I was already paying for.

(Not much of an excuse, but a logical one, I suppose.)
