Easily done! Schedule a time to come to the farm and select the pig of your choice. We’ll discuss approximate live weight, processing options, and help coordinate with a processor if needed.

Hanging weight is the weight of the hog after harvest and before final processing. Your take-home packaged pork will weigh less due to trimming, bone, and moisture loss during processing.
