Pricing for a whole animal is a little different from standard grocery store pricing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two main factors that go into the price: animal weight and processing fees. The farmer and the processor each have their own fees for raising and butchering the animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s an example: our pork is currently sold at [hog_price] <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the animal is slaughtered, bled, and gutted the processor will take a USDA approved weight and send it to Prairie Mechanics. Let’s say the hog had a hanging weight of [ex_hog_hanging].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Processing fees can vary widely, from as low as $300animal to upwards of $700, depending on what products are ordered. As a general rule, anything that requires smoking, salting, seasoning, or stuffing will cost more because it is more work. Let’s say the processing bill was [processing_cost].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Putting that together, we get: [ex_hog_pricexhanging] + [processing_cost] = [ex_total_pig_cost]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
