Very interesting finisher setup. When you say $1300 per pig retail value, it seems unattainable. If you calculate a 300 lb. liveweight dressed at 72% (with scalding) or 66% (with hide pulling) that would mean an average carcass price in the area of $7. The butcher shops we work with in California would not pay that much or even near it, and we are compelled to cut the pork further down into boneless loins, or other sub primals that can demand this or more but then we have much lower yield. I'm just curious if you have figured that value based on your own processing such as bacon or ham, etc. or if you sell mainly fresh/raw primals?

"One of the biggest problems right now in direct-to-retail pork is timing processing dates that are scheduled 12-18mos in advance." This is a ridiculous statement. Not disputing Jordan here, he clearly knows his business. The system is CLEARLY broken when you have to schedule a processing date before the pig is even born. How can a small-scale guy thats not farrowing, that's buying his feeders when he can find them, compete when even a larger-sized producer like Jordan has to jump such hoops?
@kennethheern48962 жыл бұрын
There’s no dispute his statement about processing appointments. The processors in my area are 12-13 months back log. That’s if they’re good at what they do. When this all started, I know guys that just had to sale their hogs at auctions because they couldn’t get slaughter dates.

Listing gross value of these animals with no listing of itemized costs of production is very miss leading to your viewers. If the gross value to you of a single finished pig is $1300, itemize down the costs and gross profit so people really can tell what the return on investment of your efforts are. And don't skip the marketing costs you incur. How much do you actually clear on a single hog?
