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.
If you choose to have some of the cuts cured (bacon, hams, etc), there is a fee based on poundage, in most cases about $30. Therefore, your final cost on a typical pig would be $6/# of hanging weight = $648 + $30 curing fee = $678. Your actual cost will depend on the weight of the side you order.This will provide most families with a year of pork.f you choose to have some of the cuts cured (bacon, hams, etc), there is a fee based on poundage, in most cases about $30.
