Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 I am thinking about ordering 1/2 pig. It's not something that i have done before and so i am hoping that i can get some input. As far as humans there is just me. My pets do get a home prepared raw diet and so scraps would go to them. The price is $2.80 a lb based on hanging weight and includes cut/wrap but not curing. Take home weight about 20% less. I like bacon, sausage, chops, ribs etc.. I don't really care for ham- the kind that i would guess is cured. used in sandwiches etc. I have been buying uncured bacon from Natures (expensive) and i like it but it is also seasoned and i don't know what this butcher offers. What would need to be cured and what would not? This also sounds like a lot of pig for me. Yes? No? What exactly would come with 1/2 pig? I would also open to going in together with anyone in the Portland/Salem Oregon area. Worth it or not? pros? cons?? Thanks for any input.
