Pigs for sale - whole or half

We'll be slaughtering pigs on Thursday, March 10th.  If you'd like a whole or half, we have two 
pigs available.  Send an email to bruceki@bigpig.net and we'll put you on the list.  

A half pig is approximately 100lbs, a whole about 200lbs.  Cost is $2.75/lb hanging weight, to the farm.  A kill fee of $30 per half and cut-and-wrap fees are paid to the meat shop directly, and vary a little bit based on what you tell them to do.

Your total cost with typical processing will end up being between $3.50 and $3.60 a lb - that's for hams, bacon, pork chops, sausage and roasts.
