How to purchase a whole or half pig:
- Pay a deposit to Gray Fox Farm and choose an estimated processing date.
- We raise the pig and deliver it to the processor (Main Street Processing in Detroit, TX or Cobbs Meat Processing in Sumner, TX).
- After harvesting the pig and the skin and insides removed, the processor will tell us the hanging weight.
- You pay Gray Fox Farm our price per pound based on hanging weight ($3.50/lb for whole pig, $4.00/lb for half pig), minus the deposit you already paid.
- You work with either the processor or us to determine the exact cuts of meat you want.
- You pay the processor (harvest fee and processing fee) when you pick up the pig.
How much meat will I get?
- Final cuts - about 150 pounds if hanging weight is 200 pounds, depends on chosen cuts
Why does the processing charge vary based on cuts?
- Items that are cured, smoked, or made in links will increase the price to the processor (hams, bacon, sausage, links, ets.).
How much freezer space will I need?
- 7-8 cubic feet for a whole pig
