I've been asked to help out with a couple of spit-roasted pigs in the 40# range, for a Labor Day pot luck, but the story has an interesting twist.... a local butcher shop ordered them for a customer, who then backed out of the deal, so we're thinking some creative negotiation is in order. Even to the point of allowing the store some free advertising if they really come down on the price.
What is the going rate for smaller pigs in this weight class? These have been dressed, scraped, bagged & boxed. And is the yield still about 40%-45% like larger hogs?
