Pork Break Down 2019

We, once again, got a whole pig from Ibelings, which was processed at Sorgs.  Here is the breakdown of costs, including a bit of cost increase in processing.


Costs $150 to Ibelings for the hog and $192.20 to Sorgs.  $15 trucking free, $55 butcher fee (up from $40 last year) and $.65 cute and wrap (up from $.50 last year.)  Total cost is $342.20  We had nothing smoked, didn't ask for the fat and just got it as ground pork, not sausage.  No extra charges, although we did get the bladder for a rousing game of Little House.


Side Pork: 18 pounds, 2 oz, 2 packs
Hams: 35 pounds, 4 packs
Neck Bones:  4 pounds, 1 pack
Jowls: 3 pounds, 10 oz, 2 packs
Pork Steak: 6 pounds, 9 oz, 2 packs
Spare Ribs: 5 pounds, 7 oz, 2 packs
Country Ribs: 3 pounds, 1 oz, 2 packs
Hocks: 7 pounds, 12 oz, 2 packs
Ground Pork: 14 pounds
Butt Roast: 8 pounds, 8 oz, 3 packs
Loin Roast: 7 pounds, 2 packs
Another Roast we couldn't read: 7 pounds, 3 oz, 1 pack
Shoulder Roast: 7 pounds, 4 oz, 2 packs
Liver 3 pounds, 3 packs
Ham Steaks: 11 pounds, 6 packs
Pork Chops: 24 pounds, 12 oz,  14 packs

We did the same cuts as last year, so refer to that for cutting instructions.  Roasts to 3 pounds I do remember.

Total meat: 166.25 pounds, which means $2.06/pound.  Last year our total was around $1.50/pound, so pretty big increase overall, but we'll eat it up in no time I'm sure.
