Read the thread. DF creatures do not have listed weights, so this is meaningless.

You're missing the issue. I don't care about fiddly nonsense like 1,001 uses for antlers. This is DF. What I want to know is if my players kill a monster and decide they want to skin it and gut its body parts, approximately how much money can they get from selling those skins and parts? Obviously, there will be special things like unicorn horns and that gem on a carbuncle; those are exceptions. But if my players kill a slorn, a creature with no weight listed and no special prices listed, and gut it for body parts, how much do those parts weigh and how much do they fetch at the market?
