OK, figured I'd update this thread. Just went to pick up my buck from Dorminey's. Now this may not be the most useful info as I don't have a live or field dressed weight but it was a decent (probably 3.5 year old) 8 pointer. I got back 55.8# of meat but 37.6# was sausage. They use all scrap AND front shoulders for sausage. Only 18.2# of tenderloins (which the 3 packages seemed light to me) and cube steak. I called them up since I paid for 45# of sausage (extra $2 lb) and was told they charge on the "pre-cooked" weight. I made them verify (at least verbally) that I did get MY deer back. Next deer I shoot I'm not getting processed (sausage/jerky whatever) just to see what I get back.
I just don't have the space (or motivation yet) to do my own. Better be good sausage. After dropping off the skull for a Euro mount this is one EXPENSIVE deer.
