Whats a fair price for... - Page 2

lazybonesmoke1 · 10-29-2009, 12:17 PM

I have a supplier that gets me the unwanted pigs, the ones that are butt ugly, maybe missing a hind leg or tears in the skin. It is alot easier for me to cook pigs because I don't have to babysit them, I smoke them out back while I am open for business. That price is for a pig that is cut up in disposable pans. I also would talk them into the pork butts and if they want to see a smoked pigs' head you can find one cheap at a real butcher shop.

Sometimes called "ruptures". Be careful serving these. Many times you cannot get these passed by a USDA inspector.

I hate cooking pigs! I like the idea of the head smoked and served with butts!

Thanks for all the help...

Question: Someone mentioned that I would need a 1/2 lbs person. Is the 1/2 a pound of meat per person based on 2 - 4oz servings of cooked meat for each???

I think I'm going to go with the butts... I talked to my butcher and he told me I should yield about 5.5 lbs of meat out of a 7-8lb bone-in butt and get about 4-5 servings per pound. I would need about 23 lbs of cooked pork to feed 90 if all ate just one sammy. It would be about 46 lbs of raw weight.Do I have this correct?

I have to ask the people how many sammies they a counting on having for each person and if there is going to be any other main foods...

Thanks again... Happy Monday!!!

I get about a 50% yield out of butts. 2 butts at 15 lbs actually give between 7.5 & 8 lbs.

Servings - if it's the only meat I use a kaiser bun and 5 oz of meat per person. If there are more meats than the 4 inch buns and about 4 oz for a real full sammy.

90 x 5 = 450 oz cooked = 900 raw = 56 lbs = 1 case or 8 butts.
