Whole Hog/Pig

GMDGeek · May 21, 2014

I have a call into Hirsch's and Rudolph's for pricing as my other source fell through ... I know Restaurant Depot has some but I am looking for other means of obtaining a 65-80lbs pig - head on in the Dallas area.

Any recommendations? I have the cook Friday/Saturday this weekend.

Thanks,
Gerry

I wish he hadn't dropped the ball on ordering meat. I usually order pig 2 weeks out. So no pigs available ... well one for around $350 that is ~60lbs ...

So I am thinking of scrapping the whole hog idea and doing a bunch of pork shoulders and pork belly... thoughts????

You might contact these guys, see if they have any pigs in that weight range they could slaughter.

You can also try calling Country Meats Market and see if they can help:

Local Yocal in McKinney might have a source.

Looks like Pork Shoulder and Pork Belly is what we will be doing. Next time, I make them give me the money and I will order the meat... why people wait til 2 or 3 days before the cook to order stuff is beyond me.

Local Yocal and David's meat were no goes as well. All in all, I have tried about a dozen places. No luck. Moral of the story - don't wait until the last minute to order, ESPECIALLY when there has been a recent pig health issue.

Over $8 per pound?

Rudolph's said they could get me one around 60lbs but that it would be around $5.50 a pound.
