My brother-in-law has raised a few hogs and wants to sell me one for butcher. Wants $1 lb live weight. Compared to the market price (anywhere from $0.40 to $0.57 lb) seems like its a little high to me.
But looking at craigslist people selling hogs for butcher, lowest is $1 lb up to $2 lb live. I'd butcher it myself so that isn't a cost, just my time. Have a big Hobart grinder and a stuffer. We did a cow that went down at my niece's farm last fall no problem. I have the freezer space also.
The BIL works at a feed mill so I'm sure he's getting scraps/leftover/spill feed for them. I'm sure they aren't getting gold leaf feed and fairy dust. lol. I can buy pork on sale at the store and not have to hassle with it for not much more per lb.
What are you guys paying for a butcher hog if you buy? Thoughts? I'm of the mind to pass unless it is a better deal.
