Where you'll pick up your pork

Bulk pork is pickup only. There's no shipping or delivery. You'll pick up at one of these three butchers, so make sure one of them is a drive you can make.

What each size costs

Your total depends on your hog's hanging weight. I estimate on the high side, so your bill is more likely to come in lower than higher.

Butcher fee, paid to the butcherabout $300about $600

The butcher fee is separate. You pay it straight to the butcher when you pick up. It is not part of what you pay us. Smoked and cured items like bacon, ham, and brats can cost a little more.

How to pay

HALF HOG

$375 deposit, one payment

Paid when you reserve in March. Your balance is due when your hanging weight comes in.

WHOLE HOG

$750 deposit, or 4 payments of $250

Pay $750 when you reserve. Or pay $250 when you reserve, then $250 on April 15, May 15, and June 15. The payment plan covers more up front, so your balance is smaller later.

Your balance is due within 1 week of your hanging weight coming in, and there's no payment plan on the balance. Your exact total depends on your hog. Deposits are non-refundable because your deposit buys your hog.

Questions

Why do I have to order in March?I raise pigs to fill the orders I take, so I need to know how many families are in by spring.
Can I get a quarter hog?No. A half is the smallest size. Hogs are a lot smaller than steers, and a half lets you choose every cut without splitting it with another family.
What's hanging weight?It's the weight of your hog at the butcher, before it's cut and trimmed. You take home less than that as packaged pork.
Do you deliver bulk pork?No. I bring your hog to the butcher, and you pick up your pork there. You give the butcher your cutting instructions and set up your pickup time with them.
What if I miss the deadline?Send me a text. If I haven't picked up my pigs yet, I can possibly add on another one.
