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.
1 For example, a butcher shop charges for the processing per pound between$4 and $5 per pound average (based on the hanging weight of 250 pounds and an expected loss of 50% in processing where fat and bone are not removed). 2  Another store charges around $250 for processing half a cow. The kill fee will then be added to identify the overall cost. 2  For the entire wrapping and processing of the meat, the prices can range from $0.40 to $0.80 per pound of the cow. 3  According to GrannyRetreat.com, the cost associated for butchering a cow is not just only about having it killed and butchered.
