Costs... Pig 75 Food 250 Slaughter 72 Butchering 200 So in about 600 for 228 lbs hanging weight Heres the slaughter,really,that was worth the 72 dollars from the mobile butcher      Our friend Pat raised it for us.If I had a place I could do it,could cut costs in half,just like butchering a giant rabbit. |

Spuds the ribs and the bacon belly are used for sausage as they are very thin. Now the large hogs 250- 350 pounds the ribs have some nice meat but the belly is still thin.
I do get some chops and roast from the shoulders and hams. I like the females at about 175 pounds. The meat is mild and very tender. The large bores can be a bit strong tasting. CF

$72.00 from start to finish? How do you kill a pig? They shot it with a .22,then cut neck to drain blood,hoist it up,skin and gut it and cut in half for 72 dollars.Then went to butcher shop at a hanging weight of 223-228 lbs,I forget.They cut it how you want,grind up sausage,package..that cost 199.00.pat had hers smoked there,that came to 425 or so total at butcher for hers. I will smoke my own that I want smoked,and make my own bacon. |

That sounds like a good deal price wise. So you raise pigs and chickens and vegetables. Where do you keep your pigs? Don't they need a large space? How about cows?

Back in the lean years..and we were needing meat...a friend gave me about 100 pounds of boar meat..You could eat it..but, you couldn't enjoy it..and it was really hard to stay in the area it was cooking...I have eaten wild hog..and it was way better than the farm raised boar
