I just called my favorite butcher about getting a big. $2.29/pound. $.79/pound for smoking.

I knew things were going up, but I paid $1.49 last year. The place I get my pork is excellent...I won't go anywhere else.

Just curious what the going rate is in your area for pigs...butchered, cut and wrapped.

I just paid 1.49 a pound hanging weight and 65 cents a pound to process and vac seal
And a 65 dollar kill fee

I have always butchered them myself but i got busy this year so next year I will do it myself again.

Just searched some local suppliers (Eastern Wisconsin) and pork ranged from $1.90-4.00 / # hanging weight. The pig we purchased last fall (fair season) was $1.50 / # hanging and processed at $0.79 a pound.

I don't remember exact poundage that we ended up with (80-90?), but we bought a half Tamworth in November. Meat was $299, butcher (kill, cut, wrap, smoke bacon, breakfast links and ham) was $110. Heritage meat ain't cheap, but it's delicious and local.

just got a quote yesterday hutterite colony.... 440 for a whole hog......... ya get about 150 lbs of meat so about 3 bucks.... i thought thats kindA high

It sounds like what I'm paying is the going rate in WI.

I get my stuff from Kropf's down in Bowler. They're a good outfit. It's a bit of a drive, but they keep an immaculate clean facility and I trust them.

Just started getting orders in on my hogs this week. 1.40 hanging plus butcher fees paid by the buyer. Butcher charges 60 dollar kill fee and 60 cents a lbs hanging weight. Extra 50 cents/lbs for smoking bacon and hams. Final price is about 2.30 a lbs without smoking.

There isn't much money to be made at these prices. I should charge more. I figure my hourly wage raising these 18 hogs is about 25 cents. Corn is pushing 6 dollars a bushel and they eat like...pigs.

I checked last week and $2.75 cut, wrapped and smoked included.at my go to shop.

I have a OK pig hunt the end of next month I’ll need to look into the pricing on it, it’s going into breakfast sausage mostly if not all of it.

- Hoping to get mine CHEAP! lol


I never win anything.

Took a steer in to the locker plant last week and while there I bought a bunch of pork chops for 1.59 lb, special. good ones .

Purchased an cooked this 90# mid October 2.99lb just for the dang pig

My price to do hogs

$45 kill, skin, gut
$1.00lb hang weight for processing
.75 lb brats/ kielbasa/etc.

Mine was 200 lb hanging weight even I cured bacon jowls hocks hams total was 407.00 all wrapped in paper. Butcher got the hog.
