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.
Value Not only do you get the highest quality meat available, you also get real value. Our 2013 lamb price is $4/lb carcass weight. A 60 lb. carcass will cost $240. If you choose to have your lamb processed by a local butcher, this will cost about an additional $80, for a total cost of $320.
