Order Information
for whole and half hogs

We take our hogs to Winchester Meat Locker in Winchester, Kansas for butchering so you will pick your meat up from there after it is cut, wrapped and frozen.

Prices

The butcher fee for a whole hog is $34.00 and $17.00 for a half hog. Additionally, there is $.42 cent/lb processing fee for the hanging weight. The hanging weight is dead weight, plus the head and skin removed. 

Our pigs average 250 lbs live weight, which is approximately 175 lbs. hanging weight, so one half would be half of the total hanging weight (approx. 87.5 lbs).

Our price is $2.66 (or 2.68) /lb. for hanging weight, then you pay the butcher the $.42 cents/lb. processing and their butcher fee of $17.00 (for half a hog). If you want bacon or ham (which is not required but is your choice) the curing is $.50/lb. and sausage seasoning is $.50 cents/lb. 

Options

One of the advantages of buying by half or whole is that you call the butcher and tell them how you want it cut; it is completely your choice. You can have the pork chops cut the thickness you desire, you can order hams or no hams, have more sausage made out of what would be hams, etc. The butcher will tell you what cuts come off a half hog and help you with the decision process.

What You Get from a Hog

Here is an approximate sampling of what a half hog will supply.

• 8 lbs. sausage - you can have more cut if you do not want other parts, e.g., fewer hams
• 1 neck-bone
• 4 lbs. bacon - you can have this put into sausage, too, if desired
  2 hams
• 3 ham-steaks - these can be put into something else, if desired
• 1 ham-hock
• 1 rib
• 3-4 pork roast
• 15 pork chops

Of course, double this for a whole hog. Contact us if you have additional questions. We will be happy to answer them.
