How much meat will I get?

Again, this is an estimate based on the rail weight! A whole hog will be anywhere from 220 to 260 pounds. A half hog will be 110 to 130 pounds.

Do I pay in advance?

First time customers are required to pay a $75 Deposti on a half hog and $150 on a whole hog order. This deposit will be deducted from the total at time of delivery - when payment in full is required.

How much does a Half Hog cost?

This answer will always be an estimate until the date of processing, because it depends on the size of the hog. It will cost $4.00 per pound based on the rail weight. It will be in the neighborhood of $400 to $480. But please remember, it's an ESTIMATE!
