If you average 5 pounds for each male and 2.5 pounds for each female, that's 72.5 pounds.

Depending on sides and how much they eat, you can get away with 2 sacks. If they can put "em down, get 3. That'll be more than enough and leave you decent leftovers.

i personally dont like having leftover crawfish to have to deal with. I would rather deal with leftover "fixings" than crawfish.

I will put corn, pots, sausage, shrooms, Brussels sprouts, green beans or Asparagus, garlic, pearl onions

I use the following as a guide -

5 lbs for adult and teenage male
3 lbs for adult female
2 lbs for teenage female

Then add 5 lbs for every 10 people.

In your case that is 83 lbs. I'd probably just get 3 30 lb sacks. But I like having a bit leftover.

This is assuming plenty of stuff to go with the crawfish.
