Secure your whole hog share today and fill your freezer with premium, locally raised pork from Forester Family Farm!

How Much Does a Half Hog Cost?

Our hogs are expected to weigh approximately 250–325 pounds live at processing, with hanging weights estimated between 160–220 pounds. Hanging weight is the weight of the carcass after slaughter and initial processing, before it is cut, trimmed, and packaged.

• Price per Whole: $4.25 per lb hanging weight
• Estimated Hanging Weight for Whole Hog: 160–220 lbs
• Estimated Total Pork Share Cost: $680–$935 (paid to Forester Family Farm)
• Estimated Processing Fee: $300–$400 (paid directly to 2 Creek Butchery)
• Estimated Total Cost: $980–$1,335

Your $500 deposit is non-refundable and reserves your whole hog. The deposit is applied toward your final pork purchase price.

Final costs are based on actual hanging weight and your individual processing selections.

What Pork Will I Receive?

Your whole hog will provide approximately 120–160 pounds of packaged pork, depending on the size of the animal and your preferred cuts. Because some bones, fat, and other portions are removed during processing, your take-home weight will be less than the hanging weight.

Here’s an example of what you can expect:

• Pork Chops: Approximately 24–36 chops (¾–1 inch thick)
• Bacon: Approximately 12–18 one-pound packages
• Ground Pork/Sausage: Approximately 30–50 one-pound packages
• Additional Cuts: Ham, ham steaks, shoulder roasts, pork steaks, ribs, and other cuts depending on your selections

You’ll have the opportunity to customize your pork directly with the butcher, including cut thickness, roast sizes, sausage varieties, and packaging preferences.

These quantities are estimates, not guaranteed amounts. Choosing certain cuts may reduce or eliminate others. Actual quantities depend on carcass size, fat cover, and processing selections.

How Does It Work?

Step 2: We Deliver Your Hog to the Processor

Forester Family Farm will transport your hog to 2 Creek Butchery in Monett, MO, for processing.

Step 3: Hanging Weight Is Determined

Once your hog is processed, 2 Creek Butchery will contact us with the actual hanging weight, which determines your final pork purchase price.

We’ll send you an invoice based on the actual hanging weight at $4.25 per pound, minus your $500 deposit.

Step 6: Pay the Processing Fee

You’ll pay 2 Creek Butchery directly for the processing costs associated with your individual cut selections. Specialty items, curing, smoking, and other options may affect your processing total.
