Today we talk about the cost of raising pigs on pasture and how profitable can it be. We discuss making money with pastured pigs and how to make money with pastured pork.
We break down the cost of the piglet, cost of feeding pigs, cost of processing pigs and what the retail value of those pigs is when they are ready to sell.
Raising pigs can be very profitable if you are in the right context and can charge an appropriate amount for a quality product.

Get started with Pastured Pigs: th-cam.com/video/HD5Yaz6JLIs/w-d-xo.html
How much was the hanging weight of the pigs? Sounds like processed it was 639 pounds? Was that just the select cuts? Or did that include every edible piece of meat from the pigs?
@@EmissariesoftheGospel dans le cochon tout es bon
What breed of pigs are these?
Thank you so much for the break down.
I know that your “ putting your private business” out there for others to see. And these days that’s rare. So many people want to keep that information close to the vest.
As I’ve mentioned before, we are searching for a farm right now and pasture pigs are on the docket as a source of income for me.
So. This video goes A long way for someone like me.
Thank you...
Thanks. Hope it’s helpful and somewhat encouraging to folks thinking about getting j to this type of farming. Appreciate y’all watching
"Like a common street walker." Nailed it! There's always a price. Chuck, your vids have been sooo helpful. Thank you!
Haha. I couldn't say what I wanted to about them. I try to stay "G" rated.
Glad we can help. Hope things are going well for ya'll!
Thanks for watching.
@@SheratonParkFarms Noticed this recently ( I am selling my surplus worm castings). There are couple other vendors selling live worms for years with no issue. My first post and FB came down on my account.
I heard similar thing about Yelp. Basically these big social media companies trying to extort money out of small business in the name of community standard, yet they're ready to let it slide past if they're getting paid.
Woke Fxcxbook is all in for gxtes produced roaches, other various insects, and worms. To them, the rest of us are useless eaters. Oink On, Squeal On, Fxcxbook MP. Riiiiiidiculous! !
I really liked how you broke it down seriously I live in Detroit. Lotta land up in Michigan I got money and I’m sick of the city I like how you broke it down nice and simple
I appreciate all your knowledge Chuck. I just started farming in SE Colorado after doing a stint in the Navy. Trying to be as self sufficient as I can.
Woof SE Colorado good luck in that country pal
Facebook is silly for sure. I'm in the same place I cant get an ad up on Marketplace to save my life, but throw FB a buck or two a day from my farm page and they are more than happy to push ads for my eggs! I never thought I'd be bribing a huge tech company to sell a few eggs but here we are!
It's crazy isn't it?!?!? Can't believe they block those types of things. Thanks so much for watching.
Contact your state legislators ... Facebooks business practice are at best unethical and often they violate freedom of speech. No other business are allowed to silence you unless they are a publisher. Facebook claims they are not a publisher to protect them from lawsuits brought against them for liable claims or inciting violence.
Facebook can’t have it both ways. They are either a platform (public square) or a publisher (news paper, magazine, radio/tv).
Maybe you can build your own website for cheap and use FB to push traffic over there.
Great video! I raised red wattle/ G old spot. I never held a 3 year old. I also used a fresh boar for the gilts. I arranged a stud boar piglet from another breeder early! I held back the best gilts to breed for the next go around. Most of my pork was sold before they even left for the processor. Great endeavor, and the best income on my farm.
Good deal. Sounds like you are also doing a great job of marketing. That is really a big key to being successful.
Appreciate ya'll watching!
Great info Chuck...thanks buddy. One of my viewers sent this vid to me
Thanks Josh. Big fan and really enjoy your channel. “Neighbor” down here in Pleasant Garden just south of Greensboro.
So funny I follow ya both and here ya are chatting like neighbors
Josh is about 45 minutes north of us in the next county.
Well if either makes it to South Dakota holler at me
@@kwilson2783 where in South Dakota are you?
I get my first four pigs on Saturday. Thanks for your help and inspiration!! ✌🏻❤️
Awesome! Keep us posted on how it goes.
Which breed of pigs did ya get and how’d it go?
sell out like a common street walker! I love it
Haha. It’s funny...............because it’s true.
We just got our first 3 piglets. We are excited for the journey!
I know this is old but thank you. Everyone wants to tell you how circumstantial everything is, which it is, but won't tell what their regional prices are. We have experience with other live stock but not pigs and it has been very difficult getting frank answers from people about pig prices. So again, thank you.
That's the most aggravating part about of lot of youtubers. If they would just give their cost, we could at least get a general idea of what to expect. Glad this guy broke it down for us.
I bought a pig from this man. Great guy!
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words.
Facebook situation is to be expected. Independent farmers are not in the interest of globalists, the great reset. GG.
Woo pig !
this is what we call an *epic victory royale*
Exactly
Meanwhile, today, the largest owner of American farmland is a Globalist.
Thank you for this. We just started our homestead. And I’m now getting pigs
Awesome. You’ll love them. They really are a pleasure to care for. Good luck on the new homestead!! Thanks for watching.
7:34. Man...You opened a whole new perspective with the labor part. Thank you 😁
335lbs in 6 months that sounds very profitable.
Do you have a video on pig diet and what you feed them???
I don’t but could certainly do one. Thanks for watching
Not what i was looking for but glad i found it! Made me rethink my own hog setup!
I'm hooked. I like the line "The old folks didn't call them mortgage lifters for nothing".
Facebook is all about the business. Chuck those pigs look great!! We have had a bit of good luck and bad luck here lately. My camera has been acting up plus being so busy I just haven’t done any videos lately. Great info. Thanks
Aw man! I hate technical issues. They are doing pretty good. Appreciate ya'll watching.
we are starting up a pig operation at my farm in the philippines, we sell them off at 3 months, that is the size that the people like to buy there for lecon. I am currently purchasing feed for them every three days, I am building a rat proof feed storage room. So I can buy feed in bulk. I am building more pig pens, to house the young ones, that are coming in a few months.
I have news for you. We have farmed poultry for 30 years and if we counted our labor we would flip burgers at McDonald's. You have some amazing looking animals and I have learned over the years that farming isn't just a job. It is a lifestyle. What is it worth to NOT have to commute everyday.
I liked the way you figured the approximate costs to raising and profiting your products. I enjoyed your video and I subscribed to your channel. I'm looking forward to viewing more of your videos.
Awesome, thank you! Really appreciate ya'll watching.
SWAG = Scientific Wild Assed Guess.
I heard the term in the military, surprised to hear it here.
Good video!
I know about the Facebook street walker analogy. They did me the same way regarding my lawn care services.
Yep. Been very frustrating but you "can't fight city hall" I guess. Thanks for watching.
Good stuff....enjoyed it. I was shocked at the cost of the processing though! As for the facebook thing....I can't stand their hypocrisy and policies and I refuse to use it. Twitter too! I'd recommend you ban them!
Thanks. That's a pretty standard fee for this part of the world. Really don't have much choice though.
yeah, Facebook is frustrating. Money is their end game I guess.
Thanks so much for watching.
I just permanently deleted my instagram, twitter, and facebook accounts
due to their hypocrisy, censorship, restriction of free speech, bias, and forcing
their agendas on you...!
No regrets...!
I use PARLER now and love it...!
My friend and I were thinking on doing the same you did, investing on a 🐖farm. You definitely have given us proper information towards this business. Thank you for showing to us folks!.
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate ya'll watching.
Labor alone, if you spend an average of 1.5 hours a day dealing with your pork enterprise for 6 months (30 day months), that would be 270hrs total. If you were to pay yourself as low as $7.50/hr, that cost of labor would be $2,025 ($4,050 at $15/hr). The great thing about scaling for pigs is that it's not terribly hard to scale production when the labor cost is going to be relatively the same (minus additional processing and feed trips), whether it's 3 pigs or 15 pigs or 50 pigs. I would love to see how the numbers are with a more profitable scale, cause $1000 in 6 months just isn't attractive.
Regardless, loved your video!
Agree that things become more efficient at a larger scale. Really appreciate y’all watching
Sometimes people just do it as a hobby and sell animals to pay for the feed and make a small profit. Going on a bigger scale would give bigger profits and/or losses if not planned properly.
great video, we raise a few pigs about every year but had been thinking this next year on raising several to sell, This sure helped put things in perspective.
Glad it helps. Thanks for watching
I really appreciate you breaking this down. You really have me excited to try my hand in this business and appreciate you sharing your experience and figures.
Glad it was helpful! Keep us posted on how it goes for you. Appreciate ya'll watching.
Well said FB are street walkers.
We absolutely never though raising pigs would be so easy and fun thank you sharing your brighten our day and we are always waiting to see what’s next on your farm pigs are fun 🤩
Absolutely wonderful video!! You have me believing a Marine can do something like this!
I figured you were selling at $8.35 a pound on average. That’s a really good price and you must have buyers way more concerned with the ethical treatment of animals and free range.
Great job , happy to see a video from ya , 1st thing this morning. Todd
Thanks Todd. Had a little “creative block” for a couple days. Glad to get one posted. Thanks for watching!!
Common street walker comment was priceless!!!!
I recently had a similar situation with Facebook. I was trying to sell eggs, but no matter how I worded the add, or what photo I used, it was rejected. Luckily, they warned me that I was about to be suspended, so I just gave up. Thanks for the tip about boosting the post.
S.W.A.G it, that is the real people, usable numbers! Gets us Hobby Folks in the Ball park, thank you for the info!
Haha. You are exactly right. Appreciate ya'll watching!
Great video as always. As someone who is a subcontractor In Walmarts I could not agree more about Facebook.its amazing to say the least.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks so much for watching!
That story about facebook was a not so much a funny story but a cold lesson of how things really work!
Loved your little rant!
Thanks 😂. Appreciate y’all watching
It was interesting to see some numbers. Thanks. We have been raising Berkshire pigs on pasture for a few years and haven't had much luck with marketing. Usually we hear yes yes yes! We would love to have a half hog or whole hog than when the time comes it always seems to be " not a good time" for them. I'd love to know more about your marketing. Do you have a usda butcher you use? Do you go to farmers markets? Is all your advertising on line? My other business is financing the farm and honestly I'd be happy with a break even point on the farm just because we love raising the animals.
Yes we use a USDA inspected facility to process our animals. We do farmers markets, direct from the farm and are in some local grocery stores. The majority of our advertising is on line. I have a couple of videos on our farmers market set up.
Appreciate ya'll watching.
Who PAYING 8.oo + a pound forPork Chops Be For Any one Raises pigs They better have MARKET
Try pre-selling. 1/2 up front and 1/2 before processing.
Pasture pigs are great to raise. Better than confinement in buildings.
I enjoy watching your channel as far as paying Facebook for the ads is funny it seems like money can buy anything I see nothing wrong with you posting ads to sell your farm products I'm a firm believer in supporting local businesses if you can
We are considering pastured pigs for next year. Just doing our research. Appreciate your videos and looking forward to watching a few more.
Awesome! Thank you! Hope we share something that is helpful. Appreciate ya'll watching.
Watched a few of your videos, really enjoyed the clean family friendly farm content, new sub here
Awesome! Thank you!
Waoooooooo it is very profitable especially if you have the right market to sell out
Thank you for this simple breakdown. Loved the video!
You are so welcome! Appreciate ya'll watching.
In regards to the facebook story. I'm glad you can recognize how things are kind of jacked up. We built a society that runs on private data. In the gaming world, we would your call your situation "Pay to Win". It's the same situation with digital/online marketing. A double standard, if you will. Great video. I loved the down to earth, straight forward explanation of things. I'm looking forward to seeing all the other videos now :)
Please!!! Turn up your volume. Ive subscribed and started watching. My tv is on 100 and can barely hear you!!
Thanks for the feedback. I've had a couple of folks comment about the audio on this one. I'm working on correcting that in future videos. Appreciate ya'll watching.
$5.00 a pound for packaged pork? 19 pigs per liter, you would do well to average 1/2 half that liter size. No medical cost? Hogs on dirt, no worms, really? What a master at spreading the mature!
$5 for a pound of packaged pork?? Who is selling it that cheap? Check out our prices. www.sheratonparkfarms.com/farm-store Sounds like someone is leaving massive amounts of money on the table. Thanks for watching!!
I'm a sucker for a good podcast too. Either the really informational about something they are interested in. Are the really strange and weird I could listen to a good podcast for hours. And you're right they do help a long road trip go by. I can remember countless times I'm listening to a podcast and I look over in my wife's asleep. Thanks for mentioning a new one I'll definitely have to check that one out. The grass-fed life.
Would you please revisit this for 2023? So much has changed that I’m not sure I want to raise pigs now.
I am so not surprised that Facebook lets you post your stuff when you pay. these guys make their billions somehow. They're not there for making you be successfull for free. As a small business guy you're not worth anything.
However, thank you very much for breaking this stuff down. It is really interesting, thinking about the business part of things and not only see the "i'm in the fresh air doing some cool stuff"-part of farming.
One thing a small or large farm can do is look into the USDA-NRCS. There is a lot of grant and program money to help people start this process as well as some good info. Might be worth looking into. Good bless you and yours!
Sadly our government is all about wasting more and more money.
Thanks for sharing! We talked to them very early on but its time to touch base again.
thank you sir, I live in Missouri outside of St Louis, this is great info. thank you again for sharing!!!
I was actually looking at wild hog hunting videos.. 😁 this was very interesting and informative on farm hogs..
Me too hahaha
I would be interested to know what the profit actually realized was.
Can't stop watching. Thanks so much for the break down. We are just getting started this year. Awesome channel
Cool. Keep us posted on how your farm goes!
You aren’t kidding about that certain part of society that’s lost touch. Great information in your videos.
So true!
Very hard to hear you tried different things but I think it's on your end.
thnaks for the feedback. Been working on the sound quality.
Great video, I am a
pig farmer down in Malawi Africa I would be curious to hear what you feed them so that they can attain that size. Even though I know the other big contribution is breed type.
Honestly valuable and interesting info, but I am TOTALLY distracted and entertained by the 3 persistent little piggies!!!!!!!!!!! What cute mischief makers they are!!!!😄🙄
Appreciate the upfront information about raising pig's the way you do... thank you 👍 just bought farm land in South Central Arkansas... too many 🐔 farmers down that way, so I'm exploring my options on what I might farm 🚜
I hate FakeBook, DramaBook or whatever you wanna call it. I disabled mine on Nov. 13th & haven't been back on since. I don't miss the drama at all.
Good move. I need to do the same.
Same here
I hope Trump does create a new platform. We need one with out all the woke crap.
Crikey Moses..... big momma (at 5:30 mark) looks like a hippo! Good looking pigs you got there!
She’s a big ole girl. About 750lbs.
Just found your Channel & Subscribed. Great video!
Welcome aboard! Appreciate y'all watching.
Scalability must be harder with pigs thou? 1 thing I’m curious about. What about some process products like charcuterie and aged ham? Would there be a market to raise your profit?
Those would be great products to add to our mix if we had a commercial kitchen to do them in. We do some of those for our own consumption and my wife LOVES the process.
Scaling isn't that hard if you have the property to do it on. Working on some of those issues.
Appreciate ya'll watching.
If you got the place to do it, the place to work it up. The place to cure it. The time to do it, you can absolutely raise your profits. One more important thing is having a customer to buy within a reasonable amount of time so you don't have to sit on it extended periods of time
Great video and thanks for breaking things down, I have a few questions? Looks like your feed is running around $14 per 50lbs? And with your profit margin you would be averaging over $8 per lb on your pork? Thanks again
Correct on the feed. Margin sounds right. don't have those numbers in front of me. Appreciate ya'll watching.
Thank you for the breakdown. Question: if they are pasture pigs why such a feed cost? Am I missing something?
If we are going to grow pigs out in a time that helps us be profitable, we have to supplementally feed them. They could get to the appropriate size on just pasture but it would take a long time to get there. Also, we supplement to make sure they are getting all the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
Appreciate y'all watching.
The "pasture" part is so they get fresh grass (which they will eat), sunshine and a place to live like pigs like to live. Pigs are not grazing animals as such....they need protein to grow. In the wild, they eat a lot of acorns (and chestnuts back before the blight killed off the American Chestnut), grubs, fallen fruit, mushrooms, almost anything. Commercially raised pigs never see fresh air/sunshine....they are in houses from birth to slaughter, and fed a commercial ration only.
Don't forget the best part of pasture raised pigs. First they are in a low stress environment so they are not producing cortisol due to stress. Cortisol kills the flavor of the meat. Secondly they are being exercised by moving around the pasture building bigger and leaner muscle. Wich produces a Jucier tastier meat. It also makes the meat pink not white. Wild pork is actually more pink. Pork the other white meat. Is a slogan for commercial fed pork who are raised in concrete stalls or feed lots. Knee deep in their own manure. Exposing them to constant parasites and bacteria that can kill humans easily as well as your pigs. So they pump them full of chemicals and antibiotics to keep them alive. In turn we invest the antibiotics into our system all the time. This is what has lead to antibiotic resistant flues and viruses that can now kill people much more easily then they did 60 years ago.
New sub, planning to get into pigs this coming spring up here in Ohio. Great info, great help 👍
Good luck! Keep us posted on how they do. You'll enjoy them!
I'm absolutely ASTOUNDED there is a market for pork at $8.35/lb. ($5338-1873/639lbs = $8.35/lb..) Supermarket pork runs $2-3/lb (whole boneless loin on sale here this week at $1.49/lb...as my wife points out to me in the middle of cutting ours up....ahahahaa)
Yes, I agree you raise a superior product, but that still seems high. We raise and home process our own. (East Tennessee) I buy my feeder pigs, gave $75/ea for them this year....Duroc cross. They get fed a commercial feed, plus pasture plus garden leftovers plus apples, excess eggs from our chickens when we have excess.
I did a 430 hog last week I had 82 cents/lb all in, live weight. ( I do the live weight just out of curiosity) I never bother to weigh it out cut/wrapped/in freezer, but my guess is about 55% of live weight (you had 1005lbs live, 639 in the freezer...so ~63% of live weight...so my guess isn't far off), meaning around $1.64 per pound in ours. We render our lard, I brine cure the bacon/hams. Not USDA inspected, so I can't (nor want too) sell it, but we eat dang good pork for a competitive price with supermarket.....NOT counting our labor.
Hey Ed. Thanks for the comment. Here is my response and I'm not being snarky or condescending at all. This is just my perspective.
Agree that it is interesting that folks are willing to pay $8.35 per pound for pork. I'd compare that to folks who are willing to pay over $83,000 for a new Mercedes GLS 450 when they could go buy a new Toyota Corolla for $21,000. Its all about perceived quality and value. I completely understand there are folks who want and need (based on their income, family situation, etc) to pay $1.49 bonless loin. I also understand there are folks who are glad to pay $19.99/lb for pork loin from my farm. THOSE are the folks I want to talk to. They are going to buy it from somewhere, might as well be us.
Also, we run a farm business. We have overhead, costs to cover and expect/deserve to make a profit because of the value we bring to customers and carry the risk we carry to create a product. I've raised animals up to within one week of processing and had them die or be attacked by a predator. All the money and time put into that animal........lost, buried in the ground or compost pile. We work hard to raise a quality product that we make no apologies for and are proud to bring to market.
I think we as a society have come to expect farmers to live as serfs to industrial ag and near poverty while they do the one of the most important jobs civilization can demand of a person.......fed other people. I certainly don't see many folks jumping up and down that Kenneth Sullivan, CEO of Smithfiled Foods, made over $14 million dollars last year off the backs of farmers who take home less than $0.08 of every food dollar spent on Smithfield Pork. Farmers have to share with processors, grocers, truckers, and the company they grow for.
I choose to cut out the middle men.
Appreciate y'all watching.
@@SheratonParkFarms Chuck: Not taking it as snarky at all. I agree with all you said. I'm just simply amazed there is enough market out there to command that kind of price. If it's there, by all means, go get it !
But I also think it's worth pointing out to any viewer that thinks they can also do this that this has to be a limited market. There are a LOT more Toyota's on the road than Mercedes :)
Wife and I tried some marketing of our farm products (not as our main incomes), but found most people are not willing to consider the difference in quality....that price was always an issue.
So we've simply turned inward and raise most of our own food. By doing that, we often beat store pricing, definitely beat store quality, and don't have to pay taxes on income to have after income money to spend on food (or solar power or spring water or wood for heat and so on)......a factor often missed in home produced anything that can easily add 25-40% in hidden costs to what you buy.
Your sows seem pretty tame. Normally they come at you mouth open if you're around the piglets much. Got some nice size hogs for sure.
We are over in the pen with them every day. I think that makes a difference in their temperment.
Appreciate ya'll watching.
Im confident I can not make a fraction of that where Im at. Pasture pigs do not pay here. I have to compete with the commercial market and that leaves me about $100 profit per pig if I sell on the hoof. I might be able to jump that up to $200-300 if I have a processor process it and can find buyers for said cuts. But it feels like from feeling the market here in central PA I wouldnt sell much that route. So easier to just find buyers for whole hogs and deliver them to the butcher and be done with it. Of course my feed cost per pig is also only about $100.00 so as you said markets vary. I put $100 in and pull a gross of $200 out.
New subscriber, really enjoyed the video. Thanks
Welcome! Appreciate ya'll watching!
Awe... Cedar Creek!!! The homestead community all mourns with yall!!! Howie was such a blessing to us all!
Excellent content. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
We just had 13 piglets, trying to figure out when to sell them and how much money we would make. Thanks for the info!
Great video I just found you tonight and subscribed looking forward to the next one
Awesome, thank you!
I can't believe that you are able to get that much for a pig. I sell my butcher pigs for $285 each (buyer pays the butcher fee). I only make about $30 on a pig ( before fuel cost to haul feed and pigs to butcher). I used to sell them for $220 but was losing too much money.
Very informative! I watched to get an idea of costs versus benefits etc...an got a quick Fbk ad lessen.🌈😃🤙
🤣. Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
State and local laws make this idea great in some places and not so great in others. Better know every single law and have plenty of insurance. I can't just raise 10 pigs...have them killed and inspected then take the meat to my walk in freezer and start selling meat. Growing the pigs is the easy part. Having a product you can sell legally is the tricky part. Don't quit your day job just yet!
Thanks. We have all the appropriate licenses and permits. Been farming and selling direct to the customer for 5 years now. Appreciate y’all watching
More great information. Appreciate it. Not sure I can do that good in my area. But I think my processing is a little cheaper. Thanks for the insight.
Glad it was helpful! Always appreciate hearing from you Hairy! Thanks for watching.
@SheratonParkFarms Hi, I’m subbed with all notifications on!!! I am in high school, and in agriculture and FFA (Future Farmers of America), and I am gonna be raising a pig and entering it into the fair this year!!! I was just curious about a few things! One, what kind of breed is the best and easiest to control and take care of and work with when I have to use whips and train in for the fair and stuff??? FYI, the pig will be raised from baby to adult, and it will shown in the fair ring, and then be sold in the fair for meat! Two, how much is feed per year, or per month? Also, where do you recommend I buy the cheapest tools and stuff for it, ie. whips, troughs for food and water, sunscreen (cuz I’m in AZ and pigs get sunburned), etc. where is the cheapest place you recommend I should order or buy that stuff from, and should that be online or in person store??? And where can I get the cheapest food? Also, is there certain home garden grown veggies they can eat, if so, what kinds??? Also, what kind of breed is that pig that you have in the beginning that has a pink belly, and pink feet, is light brown, and has a whole lot of brown/black spots (the one that has more spots than the other), what kind of breed is that? Also, would that pig breed be good to raise and work with to show in fair and sell for meat??? Please lemme know anything!!! Thank you so much!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great job
I hope everyone raises pigs help make the price go down on pork.
Thanks for the education hoping to follow in your foot steps soon. Great video.
Thanks. Good luck on your farming venture!
I like you and your channel already. Liked and subscribed
This a good thing to start out on with minimal up front investing? We have 10 acres not doing anything and looking for something we can slowly add to year after year. Pigs seem a great way to slowly grow.
You are inspiring! Thank you for the encouragement.
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
This is great info, especially for newbies like me! Thank you 🙏🏼
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Appreciate ya'll watching!
hey chuck! I started a group on Facebook called sask farm to Fork. everyone on this group is offering farm raised animal products for sale. not one of these people has been banned.! Not sure if we missed th algorithms but it's been going for 9 months
I'll check it out. Thanks
@@SheratonParkFarms note the group is not a buy sell group but we do list our products.
Gotcha
Hey Chuck my name is Ryan love your channel. Been binge watching you just found your channel I finally bought my farm. It's in pleasent garden to. I am thinking hard about a few pigs. And wagu cows. If you ever need anything let me know I have a bunch of equipment I own a grading biss would love to pick your brain sometime. Thanks keep up the good work
Hey neighbor! Shoot me your contact info to chuck@sheratonparkfarms.com
Always handy to know someone who can move a little earth. Would love to talk sometime. Thanks!
Thanks email you. Have a great night
I'm not a pig guy (yet), but I've heard that prime time to sell your pigs is about 250 lbs. Are you getting a good price for your pigs at 335 lbs compared to selling at a lower weight?
After about the 5 month mark they put on weight fast. It pencils out for us to feed a couple extra months to get a bigger carcass which yields a better profit. After about the 325 -350 mark you are just adding fat.
Just sub’d so I haven’t gone through all your videos but I am curious as to more detail on how you got to find customers. We have five pigs, butcher date is 1.5 months from now, and I’m wanting to try and sell one of them at least. Having a hard time finding someone and I’m just curious how you find people. Thanks and I’ll be binge watching the next couple hrs!
So start with family, friends and coworkers. Let folks know what you are doing and talk about the quality of locally grown food and how you are raising them. Also advertise on Craigslist and any other sale pages in your area. Find some folks who are doing vegetable CSA’s and have them pill their customers to see if some of them are looking for local protein. Finally you can have them processed and start a farmers market stand. Lots of demand for locally grown food right now. Appreciate y’all watching
new subscriber here, thanks for your honesty and hard work.
You should definitely know what your personal investment or deferred payment/reimbursement is. If you haven't, speak to a fiduciary business accountant, specialized in your field of business if possible.
My question is what time in Anchorage would you need to raise? Let’s say 100 or 120 pigs? What kind of land space do you need for pig
Hi Chuck and Saundra! Hope the class went good, will there be a video? Glad your doing good w the pigs
Good stuff for sure. Trying to figure out what to raise myself. Tons of wild hogs around here so not sure if pigs would work for us.
Those things can be a real pain. You may have to consider using netting instead of single strand if you do pigs. Not sure if that would be helpful or not.
Fantastic video, great breakdown, thank you for facebook info too.
My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching.
