Time for the yearly pork purchase. We purchased a whole hog this year from Ibelings and had it processed at Sorgs again. I am a bit confused on somethings, but in the interest of getting things in the freezer fast I didn't do all the normally weighing. According to Sorgs I got 204 pounds of meat and I'm not sure it that includes the fat I got or not. The biggest oddity was that we got only 5 more pounds of sausage even though we got an entire second half.
Run down of number of packages of each cut
Picnic Shoulder Roast, 4 packs
Spare Ribs, 1 pack
Pork Loin Roasts, 2 packs
Pork Tenderloin, 2 packs
Fresh Side Pork, 5 packs
Country Ribs, 2 packs
Boneless Pork Chops, 9 packs
Baby Back Ribs, 2 packs
Jowls, 2 packs
Pork Butt Roast, 5 packs
Pork Hock, 2 packs
Neck Bones, 1 pack
Sausage, 20 packs
Fresh picnic ham, 4 packs
Oddities
Pork Liver, 4 packs
Pork Bladder, 1
Bags of Fat, 2 large ones
The total paid to Ibelings was $150, total paid to Sorgs was $157. So we ended up with 204 pounds of meat for $307, which works out to about $1.54/pound. Not a bad price, but we didn't end up paying for any smoking this year because of Mike's sensitivities. I do think this is actually an increase for us, but we've got a freezer full of pork and will enjoy it and our chickens this winter!
Prices were $.50/pound for cut and wrap, $15 trucking fee, $40.00 butcher fee.
