Those were anywhere from 115-130 lbs and they sold between 150-175 each killed and scalded dressed and the organs they wanted saved for them.

Wondering; Butcher quoted 1.70 a lb cut and wrapped. They raise them.

I've bought a couple 4H pigs. Bought live, killed, wrapped comes out to about $1.70/lb. Best bacon I've ever had, too.

These have a good ratio of fat to lean between the bread and milk brewers grain

Why do they want them that small? Nobody butchers hogs around her until they are at least 225.

They aren't butcher hogs there roasting hogs Most folks here want them that size to do roasts

That price sure is inexpensive enough. Lots of folks around here, selling live weaners for $100.00 an up. A pig like what you have in the freezer would go for almost $200.00 or more.

My input costs are pretty low so I try to have a great price and move more of them.

I imagine that works out very well for you.
