Terms to know
Hanging weight (HW): Whole, halves, and quarters are sold by the hanging weight, which is the weight of the carcass when it is aging, but before it has been butchered into the various cuts. Our pigs typically hang between 180 and 225 pounds.
Finish weight (FW): This is the weight of the frozen and vacuum sealed product you take home. This is typically about 65% of the hanging weight. Any bones and fat that you would like to keep as well would be additional weight, but no additional cost.
Processing costs: This is what it costs to have the animal butchered. We will add these costs to your total after the butcher has invoiced us. They charge based on the hanging weight of the animal and certain options (like bratwurst, shaved steak, etc.) cost more. This typically works out to $1.50 per pound of hanging weight.
Please note: Since everything is charged by the weight of the animal there’s no risk that your yield will be less than what you are paying for.
