How much is he getting on them?

I'm not exactly sure. They go by the pound. Depends on if they are weaned age size or butchering size. The big uns I imagine are $200-$225. These are grain fed. He feeds them corn only for 7 days before they go to the meat market. I can find out if anyone is interested

This is in Monkey Run now. A very cool place. I'm thinking about volunteering there.

Talk about all this good pork is makin' me hungry. When I lived down in San Antonio, about 10 years ago, there was this guy who would trap wild hogs then put them in a pen and corn feed them for a week. He took pre-orders on them. He would even slaughter, skin, and cut them into quarters, and pack them on ice in your cooler for no extra charge. Not bad for only $50! Not only was the price right, but it was hands down the best tasting pork I have ever had. I would get it home and butcher the meat the rest of the way. I miss that so much

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm from NW Arkansas - Harrison. Just curious if anyone was around this area?

 

[juliechick]

Harrison seems like a nice place to live! There is some beautiful country around there.

There was someone on awhile back from Yellville and there's one lady from Mtn. Home. Other than that, I don't know.
