Our hogs are raised in small groups with access to both a cozy house and an outdoor yard. While we are not certified organic we use all natural and organic practices in growing healthy, tasty farm fresh pork. We feed a mixed diet of grain, excess milk from our cows, and weeds and excess veggies from the garden.
We sell our pork by the half/whole hanging weight. Hanging weight = once the animal is slaughtered and has the skin, head, hooves, and non-usable organs removed the carcass is weighed, giving the butcher “hanging weight.
Our hogs generally finish out weighing approximately 180-225#s (90-112# halves). If you don’t want a half, we recommend finding a friend that also wants just a quarter so you can split it. 🤠
How much meat will you get? Typically our pork gives 65-70% of the hanging weight as actual meat. [So a 200# hanging weight x 65%/70%= approximately 130-140#]
What do I get for cuts? You will get bacon, chops, sausage, fresh roasts, ham roasts and slices, country style ribs, pork ribs. You can even request to have the pig ears smoked (or plain) if you have a dog. “Extras” that are not included in the hanging weight are heart, liver, leaf lard, fat back, pig feet. You can opt any, all, or none of the extras. 🤠
We charge our “farmer’s fee” PLUS the processing fees of the butcher. Our “farmer’s fee” is $4.00/lb hanging weight. The butcher’s fees are approximately $1/# to process. (Subject to change.)
