Pork Sales

We are sold out, so get your deposit in for next year.  Pigs will be taken to McConnell's Meats on December 2, 2024.

The price for 2024 is $4.75 per pound just as it was in 2022 and 2023, you're welcome! By the way that is the hanging weight. Hanging weight is what the animal weighs after the head, hide, blood and entrails have been removed.  It is the most fair way to charge.  

For 2024 I am using McConnells's Meats in Riochmond, Ohio.  Please fill out their cut sheet and send to me via email, text or in person via paper.

If you are used to eating store bought meat this meat will taste different.  If you do not like the taste there is nothing I can do about that and I cannot refund your money.  I do not cut the meat either so if the processor messes up there is nothing I can do about that, but let me know what the problem was so it is avoided in the future.

Processing fees will be your responsibility.  For example if you have a pig that hangs at 200 pounds you will write me a check, or venmo, or give me cash for $950.00.  That will cover the cost of the piglet and room and board and transportation to the butcher.  Your processing fee will be 65 cents per pound, well that’s what it was last year, and $75 kill and cool fee.  That will cover a basic cut and no specialty items like sausage, bacon, hams and such.  

For a 200 pound hanging weight your minimum processing fee will be $205.00  If you want bacon, sausage links and the like it will be about 80 cents per pound.  

You could end up with a processing bill of between $205.00 to $400 It just depends on what you order.

All told your 200 pound pig could cost you between $1,155.00 to $1,350.00

That 200 pound hanging weight will give about 175-200 pounds of pork for your freezer.  If you put 175 pounds of pork in the freezer and you paid the top end of $1,350.00 your cost per pound is $7.71  Which would cover bacon, sausage, hams, bulk sausage and the like.  

You will contact the butcher and tell them what you want and when it is done I will pick it up and deliver it to you.  At that time you will pay the remaining balance and processing fees.

We will sell whole pigs or half pigs, but I must sell 2 halves, or one whole as I cannot take half a pig to the butcher.  If you want to come over and butcher your own I will teach you how to do it, but you have to be here for the kill day and the cutting day. I have a scale to weigh the pig so I can charge you accurately. 

Finally in order to secure your pork I do require a non-refundable payment of $500.  This protects us from being stuck with the feed and pig purchase bill and pretty much guarantees you will not back out. 

Feel free to ask me questions any time.  Just text or call me if you want to place an order.  I anticipate your pork will be ready in November, give or take a week or four.
