A good planning rule is 8-10 ounces of meat per person, so guessing on the high side 600 ounces or 37!.5 pounds!. depending on the recipie, you should be able to get away with 35 pounds without any problems!. If there's lots of other options, such as potluck suppers or a second entree choice, you can generally reduce that by 10-15% as people will get more variety to get full!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That's based on 1/2" to 1" in diameter!.
