Half Pigs: The price for a half pig is $5.00/lb based on final hanging weight at the butcher after slaughter. A typical half pig hangs at 90 lbs so the pig cost is typically $580 or so. The slaughter is $40 and the butchering (cutting & vacuum packaging) is $90.
When meat starts to get a little brown, but is still perfectly safe, butchers mark it down $2 to $3 per 1-pound steak, says Smith. (Unsafe meat looks fluorescent green.) Ask the butcher what time of day he lowers prices so you can get first choice. Pound of steak is $3 instead of $7! BUY 2 LB A MONTH AND SAVE $4.
