Whole Hog prices!

[Bigr314]

I am finally going to cook a whole hog in a few weeks.Started to call around for prices. In the Pittsburgh area for a hog under 70#, have not found a price under 2.99 #, seems high to me. That is a dressed price.

This is the cheapest I have found.

If its a stamped inspected hog, I guess its probably not that far off.

add heritage breed and $$$$$

Pig farmers are plentiful in my area. I can get a hog(dressed) for a little over $1/pound. I'm not sure about what breed and all of that.

Prob less if you buy the whole hog.

$1.45 lb..

You'll actually find that a larger pig can cost less than a smaller pig because the base cost of butchering, cleaning, prep, and then shaving. Onto that comes the price of the pig. When it's all averaged out to price per pound the smaller pig costs more per pound due to butchering and prep work.

It takes almost the same amount of time to butcher and clean a 70 pound pig as it does to do the same as a 100 pound pig.

That's cheap, don't complain! I paid $2.99 per pound last year in Cleveland for a fresh, 75 pound dressed-weight hog, but in North Texas where I live the best price I can find is $5.00 per pound or higher for the same size.....

119 for 125#,,,,,,2:09 for a 70# around here

 

[Shagdog]

I paid about 1.20/# for my 80lber but it was wholesale from a larger slaughterhouse. If you can't find anything else, those prices really don't sound that bad, when you consider how much you'd spend on other meats if you weren't doing a hog.

Did you try google searches for things like Hog processing and pig farms?

This is very close to what I paid here in California...

I've been checking into prices too.

2.50 at the meat market per lb.

2.95 for a heritage breed from a local guy.

I wish I could find cheaper.

 

[Fatback Joe]

I pay $4/lb for Berkshire here.

Whole Hog

Hi All Any where in NJ I can get small hog for my 36" Shirley? I belive they are called suckling pigs?
Prices?
Thanks DanB

 

[canoe]

check Craigslist too. you might find a local farmer that is selling often times they have a local processor. Google meat processors in your general area. it took me a while but I found a rural small time meat processor. it's an hour plus drive but half the cost and never frozen, fresh from the local farmers. plus they don't even ask for a deposit.

I just cooked up a 21 lb one on my shirley.

Very true, I'm putting pigs here next year....just trying to get the pen placement and rotation right in my head.
