We just got a pig back from the butcher and I weighed all the parts and made up this picture so you could see for yourself what a full pig looks like when cut, wrapped & in your freezer.
This pig had a hanging weight of 167 lb. One of the smallest pigs we have butchered.
Broken down this is what we got:
16 pkg. bacon total of 16.5lb.
7 pkg. steaks total of 14.5lb.
2 shoulder roasts total of 8.9lb.
8 hams total of 32.9lb.
11 pkg. chops total of 15.8lb.
3 loin roasts total of 9.9lb.
5 pkg. ground pork total of 7lb.
3 pkg. ribs total of 7.3lb.
2 pkg. pork hocks total of 3.9lb.
Grand total of 116.7lb.
70% return on meat (everything in picture) plus additional fat, bones & organs if you choose. This all fits in about 4.5 cubic feet of freezer space. This pig cost $399.36 to have butchered, cut, wrapped & cured. $150.61 of that was for the curing of the hams & bacon.
If you were to buy a pig this size from us you would pay $501 for the pig.
