Taking orders for Tamworth pork, both half sides and full orders. Animals all naturally raised outdoors.Hard to call this pasture, but this was their summer home a couple of years ago before I had my fencing installed out back. They have much nicer "digs" now and I'll try to update with pictures of their current pens.
In terms of prices for pork, full pigs are about $400, which includes up to $150 of the butcher costs to kill, cut and wrap. It also includes smoking for the bacon and hams, and if its Tamworth you really do want to smoke some bacon. Half sides sell for $225.
I tend to butcher them when around 200-220 lbs, so that will usually give somewhere close to 110-120 lbs of product for a whole pig. I will charge a bit more if the live weight is closer to to 240 lbs, and sometimes I'll let the females get a bit heavier, but no animals are ever beyond about 10 months in age. If you have expensive requests for the butcher, I'll have to pass those on as well.
If you really just want to buy the live pig, I will sell pigs for $1.25 per approximate pound live weight.
These are very reasonable, if not cheap prices, but I'm happy to start off with low prices to establish some local interest.
