Yup, we did.
Raised 1 hog for our own consumption this fall. Took it to the plant last week and picked it up today wrapped all in nice lil packages and split it with our son and his family.
At today's market price, the hog was worth $145.
We paid the butcher shop $259 for slaughter, cut, wrap, curing the hams and freezing.
Is it just me or is there something wrong with this picture?
I should add that I remember 45 years ago when Dad was getting $200 for the best of his market hogs that graded at the top of the grid.
