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.
A 110 lb. lamb can cost from $55 to $100 to kill, cut and wrap. Most processors charge a similar cutting rate per pound, or per lamb, regardless of how the lamb is to be cut up. That can be an advantage if the producer or their customer wants cuts that are a little different.
