Whole Hog$.80/lb. live weight
$.80/lb. live weightA $100 non-refundable deposit is required for a whole hog.
You pay the price per pound for the live animal. After processing, the total weight of the take home portion is approximately 50% of the live weight. Our hogs vary in size. They are not “cookie cutter” like industrially produced animals. On average each pig weighs approximately 200-225 pounds but the actual weight will vary. When placing your order, you may specify if you want a larger or smaller animal.
You will need access to an appropriate freezer for storage as a whole hog can fill about 4 cubic feet of freezer space. We offer complimentary delivery of the live animal to Caven’s Meats. You are welcome to have your hog processed by your butcher of choice.
We have appointments scheduled in November & December with Caven’s Meats in Fletcher, Ohio. They can be reached at 937-368-3841 and provide you with information on their processing and packaging costs.
