I was a little shocked too, but no more to be had  for a few weeks there and did not feel like running around. Dad bought it, I would of haggled a little. LOL.     We got our pig back from the butcher. 309# on the hoof and 250# in the freezer. Total  charge was about  1$ a pound to come get it, slaughter, cut and  vacuum pack. We only smoked the bacon and everything was cut into steaks or sausage. I love fresh ham steak.  Here is the breakdown.
Piglet  $60
9 bags of feed $150
Cutting and wrapping ect $250
Other incidentals sawdust, bread truck leftovers $50
$510
So $2 a pound to raise to freezer

Hey you got a freezer full and another on the way. Thanks for the numbers. I will try and keep track as i go. I can see a savings on me slaughtering. I also see a loss when my son raids my freezer every week, lol.
Right now I'm $100. For 2 piglets. $50. To build the stall. $20 for 100 lbs feed $10 for 2 bales straw. Free fencing I had.
Still want to build the cold smokehouse but I have lots of time on that.
Looking at bacon, steaks , sausage, roasts, ribs and loins.
I liked your weight to meat ratio

Youse guz is making me hungry for pork chops. Past two days, I've eaten bacon burgers at two differnt resturants and tomorrow I'm heading for Chinese where they offer delicious pork on a stick.

The butchering is the biggest cost and something I cannot do as I have little to no knowledge of it. Remember try will eat grass and garden weeds too. We let this one get a bit bigger than the others.

Well today was another good day. Got some stuff done, lawn almost done and tracts ready to pull manure tomorrow.  I also went to the gun she this am and picked up a new varmint gun. I have been wanting a .223 based gun for a while. I wanted a mini 14, but price was just too high and being left handed they are hard to find. Hot casings flying by my face is not good. So I opted for a bolt action Savage with a Bushnell scope. The Remington 700 was too much and the guy would not deal down to Walk Marts on sale price.Got the savage for $50 below retail, brand new.  Not a gun nut so I  did not need anything special, so the Entry level savage will suit me fine for a farm gun.

Today was a work day for sure. Nothing went as I'd like of course. Glad yours was better Clint with a new toy. Not much of a gun collection myself either. 22 rifle, 20 & 12 gauge shotgun, 30-06 game gun. I don't shoot other than hunting so they serve purpose.

Here is my rundown day.
Figured I'd drop that free oak then do brakes on daughters car. As my great luck has, it hung up in another tree. Started at 9am and a backhoe later it was on the ground at noon. Brakes took an hr from 1 -2 pm.
Pigs and garden projects took 2 more hrs , boat took another 2 . Figured I'd go cut and haul some firewood after and blow a tire on cart after first load. Chunked a bunch of tree up and now it's almost dark and I'm toast !!

So no gardening here yet, but still 'growing' things here. A new hatch of chicks and Mindy is a happy puppy having new babies to watch over.

That is one gentile dog to sit there with those chicks,that is a joy to see!

Fisherlady those are absolutely great pictures.  Mother hen is a pretty bird and Mindy... well that picture is certainly worth a thousand words.  Kudos for sharing.

Thank you, hard to go wrong with those subjects.
Mindy is an English Shepherd, sometimes also called an 'Old Fashioned farm collie'... They are an all around farm dog known for herding, protection and varmit hunting. 
They are an incredibly intelligent dog and she has those qualities and then some. She loves her chickens and is a joy to watch in the coops, especially when chicks hatch. Her and Dillon (Male ES from same NY sheep farm) make sure no racoons, rats or possums ever visit twice. Mindy has twice saved birds from hawk attacks also. I think as long as we ever have poultry or any farm animals around we will have an ES to help out.
