To keep your hose from kinking over the top of your containers is to "Run the hose through straight PVC and a 90 degree PVC hub" You could use straight piece to run up the side of your container then attach the 90 degree hub, of course attach all with a bands around the container, If still having a kink at he bottom, just use another 90.

We have big gardens so they get a lot of veggies. Processing was $161, would have been more but I had him as whole hog sausage. Weight was 252# I got 150# of sausage. I could have gotten out cheaper with cheap feed but if I'm putting forth the effort I'm eating non gmo.

I was selling hogs raised the same way in this area several years ago. Got laughed at repeatedly and good at hearing no at $3 per lb. He is selling at what looks like $12 to $14 per lb. More power to him. Years ago I literally could not even give an acorn fed hog away and certainly couldn't sell one. We raised them on acorns and ate them ourselves but had to put them on corn for at least a month before we sold them.

That’s assuming the farmer got back 150lbs of retail cuts per pig at an average sell of $9/lb. “Net profit” is trickery because everyone’s expenses are very different, so I’m not gonna give a number for that. So under $14,000 of gross profit for a group of 10 in North Carolina. Every state is different tho. Let me know if that helped.

Typically the buyer covers the kill fee and all processing. You'll get a cut sheet where you pick how you want it butchered and on pickup you pay the butcher for their service. Selling individual packs is generally only for USDA inspected product, which is why they sell on the hoof; you're essentially paying them to raise your animal for you. "Custom" butchers which are more common usually handle these types of orders. Same people that process deer during hunting season. These facilities are up to date and inspected but do not have a USDA official on site for each slaughter. If you want to sell individual cuts at a farmers market, at least in our state you have to go that route. This is why they meat marked from a custom butcher is marked "not for resale"

Tell all your friends and family you're growing out 10 pigs, on pasture and organic feed, due to be butchered in 6 months. Sold by the half hog, at $x per pound. Pay 10% upfront to secure your share.

I am quoting here from someone else. “The target demographic of farmers markets are people who like to think of themselves as hip and cool, and have the money to perpetuate that illusion. Farmer's markets are not about affordable food; they're about cool food, and they market themselves that way.”

I agree. I live in what has become an expensive place to live. Our farmers markets are very expensive. I get so envious when I hear people getting bushels of tomatoes or onions, etc. I have to drive over an hour away or more to another state to get a break. We will be doing that next week. They can be fun with cookies, ice cream, food trucks and novelties but there are no bargains to be found. Most of the farmers make the drive to Manhattan where they can really make money, very high priced.

I gave a down thumb. youtube will not acknowledge that these days. I see people at farmers market who don't know how, or live where there is not an option to grow all their food. Also, why hate a person who is making money and taking care of the family life, by selling at the FM. Mass produced food now taste like ass to me. GETUSOMEREALFOOD!

Can you please let me know exactly what kind of feeder this was you bought with the pigs. The owner said something about it being able to dispense either automatically or by portion, but I can't find it online. I'd certainly appreciate it.

Are you ever going to smoke your own ham ? You have enough wood kinds to give them a certain texture ?

Hate that the previous owners had to sell out. Maybe you could help promote your neighbor's farm products online too. You could start a local community of productive farmers. I've found marketing to be WAY more difficult than raising. I'm about to scale back to just what my family eats, because selling is not in my skill sets or time allotment.

Justin I find it very difficult to believe your claim of 19,600$$$ for those pigs. What was your cost for the pigs and transportation costs. What were your feed costs etc. Please show your actual cost and what exactly are you selling the processed pork for

How much did you spend to make 19600? What was the bring home amount?

Ok. I understand how frustrating it is to have farm animals get out😱. Could you not secure the waterer to a tree with straps somehow. You are a cleaver man I know you can do it. Probably a taller, smaller squared electric netting...may make a positive difference 🤗

I don't know how you can get people to pay those prices. We raise and sell pigs 1.90 a pound hanging is the best we can get for it. Then the customer pays the processing

I'm getting a whole pig next month for 600. 6000 for 5 pigs sounds really high. But good for you if you can do that
