One of my 4-H rifle kids, dad has some and offered to sell me one for mixing with deer for sausage. I was thinking if the price is right, Ill butcher it myself and cut a few pork chops and grind the rest.
I paid over $400 one time.....just once. From that point forward I relinquished my Wife of that duty. $175 - $250 depending on what you have the hog made in to.
We get ours done at Jarrett’s meat market in Madisonville. Did 3 pigs there last spring. All around 3-350 lbs. cost us average $250 each, and that was with cured and smoked meats.
Got breakfast sausage, smoked link sausage, bacon, hams, and porkchops out of them.
Come to think of it, we are almost out of pork and i need to butcher another
We did this for many years if you are buying a show pig be sure to feed it out for a while.
Get the show pig feed out of it's system put it on regular sow feed and corn. After about 2 months you will have the best eating pork especially the bacon.
I had a 300lb show pig done at Theiss in Normangee last spring. I had the loins cut into chops. Hams cured and smoked. Bacon cured and smoked. Shoulders cut into country style ribs. Ribs cut and packaged. Trimmings and scraps made into breakfast sausage. Cost about $250.
