How many bone-in pork butts needed

[Boone]

Will be making pulled pork for about 70 adults. I saw a calculator that said 5-6 bone-in 8# butts would be needed. Does this sound correct?

I would say so. I've fed about 20 with a single butt taking into consideration all the other food that was served.

I think what I've always heard is 1/2 lb raw per person... So ~35 pounds.
