We gave 115 a hog, not a steal compared to what some are giving but a heck of a lot cheaper than a traditional hog. It was a nice learning experience and I look forward to the actual meat cutting today. That is a good deal and still probably less than the farmer has into them. It isn't all about getting a great deal, but helping farmers recoup some of their loss as well. Good on you.

$115 would be $0.46 a pound assuming a 250 pound hog
if these were over well 250 and would take a penalty fee or the processor would not take them 115 with no transport cost would be close to market value
my sister in laws , sister in laws family had an entire semi of hogs some weeks ago the processor said yes ship and while in transit called and said no can do.
unfortunately I got this news second hand through my dad a couple weeks late to get any of them. they are also a hundred miles away.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Did 4 last weekend would do more if we had little cooler weather forecast. I've heard it's pretty easy to build a make-shift walk-in cooler with some 4x8 sheets of insulation and a window unit AC.

So not only are you a fellow Justified fan but you also hang all you meat from a bucket? I'd wager we have a few things in common LOL.
With a tractor a guy can haul the goodies to which ever barn has electricity and then use a sawsall but I eventually broke down and got a cordless one. I like to hose down the animal as soon as I split it and I hate standing in mud so I love to move the tractor so nobody has to stand in a mud puddle.
Way to go Michael. 115 for hogs that look to be exceeding 250 is a deal.

Just finished cutting one up today. Rendering the Lard right now. I paid $100 for one around 325. To big for the plant to take.
