Abstract

Hog loins or other meat items are trimmed to a base weight by severing from one relatively uniform end of each loin a single portion having a length determined by the amount of actual weight of said loin which exceeds the base weight multiplied by a factor representing a lineal relationship between increments of weight and length taken from corresponding uniform ends of other loins which also exceeded the base weight.
