Pork

Our Pork

We raise our pigs to be pigs! All of our pigs are pasture-raised, where they can roam and run as freely as they want. They have their mud bog, a watering hole that allows them to escape the hot summer months. We feed our pigs Purina Pig Pellets and crimped corn, which we mix here on the farm.

Our pigs are well-cared for and treated humanely, receiving the best possible care with their well-being at the forefront of every management decision.

We use a reputable USDA-inspected locker for all our processing to ensure quality in every package of pork that you purchase from us!

Our Fees

There are two popular methods used for selling pork. Hanging Weight or Price per Pound. Here at Happy Kids Farm, we use the bulk sales method of the animal's hanging weight for all our sales.

We charge $2.00/lb. Hanging weight on our pork.

We offer the option to purchase a half or whole pork package; the size you choose is up to you.

The processing fees charged by our USDA-Inspected butcher average $1.50 per pound and are based on your final cut, curing, and packaging choices. Our processor can explain your cutting and packaging options and discuss your final per-pound costs.

Calculating Your Costs

Here are the calculations for determining your final cut packages and weight.

An example of a whole pork package cost

• Hanging Weight Cost – If an animal has a 175 lb. hanging weight
  • $2.00 * 175 lbs. = $350
• Processing Cost –
  • $1.50 * 175 lbs. = $262.50
• Total Cost – $612.50
• Final Cut Percentage – (65% estimate)
• 65% * 175 lbs. = ~114 lbs. of finished cut, cured, and packaged meat

If you bought a 1/2 pork package of the same animal

• Total Cost – $306.25
• Estimated Final Cut – ~57 lbs. of finished cut, cured, and packaged meat
