Information for ordering a whole or half pig

The amount of meat you receive depends, of course, on the size of the animal and thus cannot be

specifically designated beforehand.

The information below is to give you a sense of the amount of meat you would receive.  The live weight

is based on the average live weight of the pastured pig when it is ready to be processed.

  Whole pig Half pig
Live weight (lbs) 250 125
hanging weight (lbs) 185 92.5
packaged meat weight (lbs) 140 70

 A whole pig would require approximately 4 cubic feet of freezer space.
