A couple of weeks ago we butchered our first two pigs- both miniature pigs. They are regular pigs, but bred so that they are much smaller. Each one weighed probably 60-70 lbs (versus our other two are at 150-200 lbs). Here's how much meat we got from the two and it's estimated worth:
Ribs = 7 lbs
Back = 11 lbs
Front Hock = 13 lbs
Back Hock = 13.5 lbs
Total: 44.5 lbs of meat
Estimated retail value = $264
Cost to purchase/raise the pigs = $87
Net Profit = $177
Total estimated time to care for the pigs = 8.75 hours
Not to bad for two miniature pigs. Can't wait to see how much we get from the big pigs!
