We have a few pigs available to butcher. The gilts would also make great breeding stock. They are a mix of Hampshire, Yorkshire, and Duroc. They are excellent foragers, very healthy and come from a great outdoor breeding program that has been producing pigs for years.
We kept a constant supply of certified organic alfalfa in front of the pigs. We have also been feeding certified organic barley, certified organic wheat, non-gmo field peas, our next-door neighbors milo (non-gmo, never sprayed) and lots of skim milk. The pigs have also been rooting around on a planted cover crop and weeds growing on 60 acres of farm ground, and some native pasture when they were "free roaming". The pigs have never received antibiotics and have lived their entire lives outdoors.
We charge $3.35 per pound based on the live weight of the pig. They usually weigh between 225 and 275 pounds. The butchering for the average whole pig costs about $350. It does however largely depend on how you have it cut, cured, seasoned and packaged (things like stuffing links drives the price up). You can expect to get 100-130 lbs of meat from a whole pig. You can get the side (portion that makes bacon) as a whole slab or sliced and packaged. The butcher also makes a large variety of very tasty sausages. A $150 deposit for a side or $300 for a whole will reserve your portion of pork. (The expected price for half a pig, all in will be about $600, $1200 for a whole)
We do not deliver custom cut meat. You will need to pick it up directly from the butcher in Wiggins, Stagecoach Meat Company. You will pay the farm for the pig directly before picking up the meat and you will pay the butcher for the processing at the time of pickup.
It takes1-3 weeks depending on whether you have any curing done or not for pork to be ready to pick up, from the butcher dates. I have 2 dates, November 26th and January 8th.
Please very serious inquiries only.
Thanks for considering Ebert Family Farm pastured pork for your freezer!
