Its Feeder pig time

[wby257]

I am picking up Feeder Pigs on Saturday. I normally get two for myself and feed out 2 more to sell. If any of you guys are look for Butcher hogs in late Summer early Fall I will have some. I have room for 8 or 10 hogs. All are pasture raised so are on grass and feed. In late summer I finish them for a month or more on sweet corn and apples and plums. It will be the best Pork you have ever eaten.

I sell them at fair market value. And take mine to Enderlin Maple valley meat and Hecla S.D. Frohling meats.

They are Red Wattle/Duroc and Duroc/Hampshire. I can get 4 of each.

Some of the questions being asked is.

Cost per hog right now is about 50.00 per hundred weight. A 300 lb hog will be 150.00

I butcher at 280 to 300 lbs. And being they have a pasture to run around in the muscle to fat ratio is very good.

Butcher shops are mostly the same price Just to butcher and cure Hams and Bacon about 225.00. If you want sausage or brats and anything like that cost will be higher.

If a person wants a 1/2 hog Im sure there will be someone that will take the other half. As of right now I will only be getting 4 Hogs.
