Pork Purchase 2020

 Here's the update for this year's pig!


Pork Shoulder Picnic Roast 4, 15 pound

Pork Steak 2, 8 pounds

Pork Chops 12, 27 pounds

Hock 4, 10 pounds

Jowl 2, 4 pounds

Ham 4, 31 pounds

Ham Slices 6, 12.5 pounds

Neck bones 4, 4 pounds

Loin Roast 2, 8 pounds

 Butt Roast 5, 15 pounds

Country Ribs 2, 4 pounds

Side Pork 2, 21 pounds

Ground Pork 14 pounds

Liver 3, 4 pounds

Fat 16 pounds

I came up with 193 pounds, but the sheet says we had 199 pounds dressed.  Sorgs included the bladder for the kids again too.  Not sure why we didn't get spare ribs...most weights very similar to last year.


Costs to Sorgs: $75 butcher, $.65/lb cut, wrap and freeze, $10 hide disposal (new), $20 trucking for a total of $234.35.  Butcher was $55 last year and no hide fee, trucking went $5 too.  Two years ago butcher fee was $40, so major change in 2 years in  labor costs, the cut, wrap, freeze charge was the same last year, but that year was a big increase from 2018.

Costs to Ibelings: $150 

Total spent: $384.35

Total weight: 199 pounds        

So $1.93/pound for everything.

Removing fat and liver:  $2.14/pound
