Pork

We raise a limited amount of pigs annually for the freezer pork market direct to customers. Our hogs are sold for freezer meat by their live weight at time of sale. Generally a 300 lb hog is considered finished for market. The sale price includes delivery to our contracted butcher* and delivery of the finished meat product to the customer (within 30 miles). If interested in purchasing a freezer pig, please complete the form below or contact us at the number listed.

*We also offer the option to deliver the live animal to the butcher of your choice or to your home, within 40 miles, for a $25.00 fee. To have the animal delivered to your butcher, you must make arrangements with the butcher and contact us with a date 4 weeks before the delivery date. Be aware that some butchers are scheduling a year in advance.

Our freezer meat is processed by a local butcher to the customers specifications. Prices are not listed here as livestock prices fluctuate greatly from season to season and year to year. If interested in a whole or half pig, please complete the form below. We will contact you with availability along with further information and pricing. A cut sheet is required and can be completed as sent as soon as you reserve an animal with a deposit. The cut sheet must reach us before the animal is delivered to the packing house.

The standard for hog slaughter yield is a hot carcass hanging weight (HCHW) of 70% of the live weight. The butcher charges processing fees on the HCHW. Additional charges include: the dispatch fee, meat smoking/lb., and sausage casings. For a good explanation of the breakdown of a pork carcass and a diagram of pork cuts, click the links.
