Kyle and I were doing some math this evening. Holy cow its going to cost a piggy penny to feed this large round of feeder pigs, 39 to be exact.
We are still trying to determine the number of hogs needed for hog shares, boxes, and individual cuts.
Its not as easy as saying 30 for shares and the rest for boxes and individual cuts. We have to consider storage space, processors availability, cost of processing, and when we get turkeys too.
In order for us to know how many hogs it takes for boxes I have to know what the heck I am putting in them. π I have learned a lot from our first 10 boxes. What worked, what didn't, how much space 10 boxes took in the freezer.
We have a 10 hour drive Friday, so hopefully after the drive we have discussed this a million times to come up with a discussion. I've got to go over Pea Creek Processing dates available in the Fall for hog shares.
