One good thing is you know what you got, you raised them. So no recalls or worry about what’s in it. When I was a kid ( many many moons ago) we raised our pigs,cow’s, chickens,turkeys. We butchered them and took care of them ourselves. My grandfather even had me help him make scrapple. It was all fresh and he had his own smoker. Cut out the middle man and was cheaper. A lot of work but for a family of 8 it was worth it he always said. But yous are very busy so having it done was worth it. In my opinion. You can eat it and not worry👍. Enjoy that yummy meat. Have a great day. See yous in the next video 👍

You guys need to buy your feed in bulk. And raise them to 250-290 lbs. Look around for your feeders, i am in iowa and i used to find feeders for $40 per head. I used to run a farrow to finish operation years ago:). So shop around to see what you can find for feeders, and give them slop as well: left overs and garden waste as well.

G’day mate, nice honest feedback on the pricing. Look at Greg Judy on YT for pasture set up, if you can run them through the woods on mast it will decrease the bill a lot. Try for something like a tamworth or IPP for an animal that will gain on rough forage. Of course keep trying for fruit stand, bread store etc for supplemental feeds. Also look at bulk purchase of feed, not sure if you can get it in bulka bags there but will bring down the feed costs.

We raise Tamworth and crosses over here in Chipley, FL. We have sold to a couple of people in Milton area. Wonder if those pigs had come from our lines. Too funny. My husband said don't forget to calculate fuel costs into your equation that you arent spending to travel to grocery store for meat. Also if you are getting feed from a feed store ask if they have a 40% concentrate. I think the one I get is HMC. I mix it with the regular food to give them that boost. Can also get the spent brewery grain to feed your pigs, if you go to the breweries yourself they just give it to you. Better feed conversion due to it being already fermented so pigs get more nutrition from it than just mixed grains. Had a customer tell Me about it. He was getting it in Fort Walton Beach area. You may have some closer to you. Mix that with the concentrated pellets to bulk up your piglets. Fall here is also a good time for foraging piglets due to acorns and other fallen nuts and wild fruit.

Nice video, thanks for sharing! Couple of pointers..try getting to a point where you can buy feed in bulk and keep good records!! I've found the length of time raising/feeding the pigs is the most effective way to adjust cost. Bigger isn't always the better bang for your buck, good record keeping will help you trend towards a better price per pound. Will subscribe and see how it goes next time. PS..there is a video on my channel of a feeder you might be interested in making, should be easy to find since sadly it's the only video I've done so far.. LOL

I would say you need to break down the meat by the price of what it would cost you to replace what you got! Like pork ribs are more than $2 a pound! I think if you break it down by each cut the meat you got it would come out probably breaking even! Y'all stay safe!

Check out "The Fit Farmer" on KZbin. He visited Joel Salatins farm (Polyface Farm) & did some interviews with Joel & some of the interns at Joel's farm. He made a series of videos on different aspects of how Joel did things on his farm from raising crops to rotational grazing of his cattle & pigs & chickens. They also do all their own processing at Polyface (I believe), chickens & ducks for sure. Another good channel to check out would be "Stoney Ridge Farmer". Also, "Prepsteader Bob" did a 3 video series on building "Super Soil" for your garden. Bob also stopped by my place right before Christmas last year to help me with setting up my outdoor shower. I believe Bob also stopped & gave Hank a hand with some projects he had at his place.

That was really interesting! Thanks for sharing I’ve noticed a lot of channels don’t include their costs etc because they don’t want to have people comparing prices around the country/world. But a couple of things that I thought would be interesting to know as well, in addition to the feed that you gave them, did you give them any hay or straw for bedding? Is that necessary for pigs? Also what was the cost of the processor? I noticed you didn’t include that as part of your cost? Also I didn’t hear if you mentioned about the lard? Did you get the lard from the butcher to render down? Apparently it’s amazing. Just curious. Thanks for sharing.

No bedding was necessary. Pigs like to root out a small whole to lay in or lay in mud. We paid about 120 dollars total for processing, I didnt go into it, because there are so many different little charges that it could probably be its own video. 🤣. Lard wasn't an option on their cut sheet and I didn't even think to ask about it. Thanks for watching.

Just a suggestion try to get them close to 300 pound that will help a lot free feed them learn the up sale key words pasture raised a no steroids or antibiotics non-GMO food if that’s what you feed humanely harvested state, inspected food that’s so you can resell it. These are all up sells some sell as much as 5-7 dollar a pound if I get 3-4 am happy but buying feed in bulk is one of the keys but those bins are not cheap but if you are in it for the long haul it will save you time and labor and money but they are a investment.

It cost approximately $2.58/lb to raise the meat at cost. If you charged $3/lb you could maybe get a free pig if you raised 15 instead of 3....... Don't know what the feed consists of but if you can grow it yourself or allow them to graze, you could lower the feed costs.

Bud, even in the massively inflated economy of today, you sold those pigs for just over the USDA wholesale price. 01/05/24 wholesale live price is .91/lb, about 1.90/lb hanging. I dont know what you were thinking, charging 2.00/lb, but a half pig should go, at a minimum, 3.50/lb. That covers you and your pig is the profit, landing about 33% profit (which, not so coincidentally, is the standard cost of labor for business) WalMart charges $4.48/lb on picnic hams. Keep that in mind next time youre thinking "am I overcharging?" I dont know, are you better than WalMart?

We eat sheep and are pigs and buy food in bulk with 3 ton trailer we get it so cheap and we buy bigger cuts of cows and break it down are self we have a camber vac machine that we used for the first time a couple weeks ago ago and it saved use about 400 to break the ribeye and hamburger down are self about 70 pounds about 1.5 hours for 400 worth of savings getting paid 400 for 1.5 hours worth of work is truly awesome we do this 2 more times and are chamber vac machine is paid for who and then we can buy 800 worth of meat and save 800 dollar it is going to be gloriously awesome. Your saving will increase if you keep a few sows and a bore of they have 7/10 each litter you keep 2-5 for your self and sell the rest as feeders or as grow outs you can get paid a little to feed your family the very best you can and have over abundance to help others. Are feeders sell for 125-150 so not a bad price for feeders here 2 litters a years 3 months 3 weeks and 3 days so you could have litters a year I guess but am not ready for that 😆

Breaking down the cost is always a pain. So much to consider, when I first raised meat chickens, I lost my ass cause I went the whole non gmo route and it was to expensive. The price for bird wasn’t what people wanted to buy them for. I had to sell for $6 a lb to cover cost of feed and it was ridiculous. Maybe if I lived in California and people are willing, but not here in Indiana.
