Do you mind sharing what you paid for it? I was looking into one and the cost is 225$ for a 250-300# hog. Basic butchering is 60cent a pound hanging wait. Cured meat is 60 cents additional per pound. Is that a good deal? About the same

I run my hogs in the woods with electric fence and rotationally graze them, also provide feed. They get a wide variety of food sources from rooting, hay and what not I charge $4.00 a pound plus butcher cost and I deliver. Have more customers then I can service. Are your pigs raised in confinement. Not saying anything is wrong just wondering?

N.Roberts That figures out to be around 90 cents a pound live weight. Seems pretty high priced To me. I’m guessing actual price for a live hog is 40-50 cents per Pound. I assume the farmer is going to deliver to the butcher. That would be worth something. He told me about 50 cents a lb. I have to pay the farmer. Then I pay for a kill charge and then butchering.

Is that a good deal? Only thing missing is your kill fee normally 75 to 100 bucks. But that is very reasonable 60 cents cut wrap and 1.20 to cure smoke cut and wrap hams and bacon. Id pay those prices

Can you butcher it your self and save money? Pigs are easy to kill cut and wrap then pay someone to cure the hams and bacon. This. I do 1-2 every year and butcher myself. Not hard, plenty of YouTube videos on it, and saves.money.

Remember you people are the salt of the earth, most people have no idea how to raise a pig or cow or goat or sheep. And my customers want no gmo feed and no ivermectin. It's what a customer wants to put in his or her body. And make no mistake I'm not the only one.

Thank you New fox1 and ours are USDA inspected also. And we use hanging hanging weight. It is all in your customer base and what they demand.
