Whole hog, this estimated hanging carcass weight of 210 lbs. is based on a 300 lb. live weight hog. The price is per pound of carcass weight, of which the actual take home weight will be some less after cutting, trimming and water shrinkage. The total carcass weight will vary according to the weight of the live hog which could range from 250-350 lbs. You may request your preference for a smaller/larger hog and we will do our best to accommodate.
Price includes standard processing costs. Extra costs for making patties, curing or smoking will be added to total cost as follows:
Patties: $0.85/lb
Cured Hams: $18 each
Cured Bacons: $10 each
Cured Jowls: $7 each
Sausage linking: $1.50/lb (minimum 25 lb batch)
There are three 2026 processing dates to choose from: Sept. 3rd, Sept. 24th and Oct. 29. Meat will be ready for pickup approximately 1-2 weeks later (curing of bacon or ham may or may take a little longer though). Please specify if you have a preference for one of these processing dates and we will make it happen if possible.
Processing is done at Lighthouse Custom Meats near Bloomfield, IN. Depending on where you live and your preference, we will make arrangements with you on whether to pick your meat up there or here at our farm. We just ask that at either place you pick up ASAP because cold storage is limited at both places :).
Pro tip:
To get the most bang for your buck, remember to request things like stock bones (for broth), fat (for homemade lard), and organ meats be saved from your hog. Whether you use them all yourself or add them to your dog's menu, they will increase the total value of product you receive.
