It is time for the pigs to go to the butcher and be processed. We bought the pigs when they were 4 weeks old. We have raised them 21 and half weeks now. They are over 250 pounds and definitely big enough to take the trip to freezer camp. We just need to get the livestock trailer over to the pig pen and adjust the fencing to allow the pigs to walk inside of the trailer. Once they are loaded we can take them to the processor.
Here is all feed we bought for the pigs.
50 pounds of farm store bagged pig feed = $13.89
1800 pounds of bulk pig feed = $414.00
100 pounds of soybean meal = $27.54
150 pounds of cracked corn = $23.87
Total Feed Cost = 479.30
Pigs were $55 each for a total of $110
Total cost = $589.30
Final live weight of pigs were 301 pounds and 270 pounds.
Total live weight of pigs was 571 pounds
Hanging weight was 217 pounds and 195 pounds.
Total hanging weight was 412 pounds
