Formula
How the calculation works
A cow or buffalo is divided into seven equal shares while a goat or sheep forms a single share, so the tool sets the total shares from the animal type you pick.
The meat per share is the total usable meat divided by the number of shares, and your own share is that figure multiplied by how many shares you hold.
Tradition divides the meat into three parts for the family, relatives and the poor, so the tool splits your share into three equal portions unless you adjust the split yourself.
Common mistakes
- Counting the live weight instead of the usable meat weight overstates each share, because hide, bones and offal are not part of the edible division.
- Forgetting that a goat or sheep cannot be shared beyond one share, whereas a cow or buffalo is limited to seven shares in total.
When to use it
- Use it when several people buy a cow or buffalo together to see how much meat each of the seven shares receives.
- Use it to plan the three way division of your own share so the family, relatives and poor portions are balanced.
Worked example
A cow with 140 kg of meat shared into 7 parts gives 20 kg per share, and one share splits into about 6.67 kg each for family, relatives and the poor.
Common questions
How many shares does each animal allow?
A cow or buffalo allows up to seven shares, while a goat or sheep counts as a single share that cannot be divided among several people.
