Pork generally runs around $3.50/lb. for everything (Slaughter costs + Hog costs + Shipping and Handling). We take the pigs down to Key Packing, near Robbins, and they slaughter the animals and then package them in vacuum sealed bags. The pork is raised the old fashion way, on the ground, and they are all good corn fed hogs (no fancy stuff).

The beef is our own grass fed commercial Black Angus stock. They will be grass and grain fed, on a guaranteed non-animal byproduct feed free of any added growth hormones. We also sell them by the quarter, half or whole animal (note: Key will quarter any animal, pork too, for an additional charge.)

Beef can run between $3.89/lb. to  $4.29/lb. in the package for everything when ordering a whole animal (this amount can vary depending on how much fat is in the meat, which actually improves the tenderness, but also increases costs)  A leaner animal would cost less.  We don't know this fat ration until after the animal is slaughtered.  

We charge $2.89/lb hanging weight and you pay the slaughter costs. The hanging weight is what is left after slaughter, and is what is hung in the packing plants cooler for 2 weeks in order for the meat to dry age (this is what really makes it tender).  Its to your advantage to order a larger amount, due to slaughter costs and the availability of various cuts of meat being greater when ordering a half or whole animal.
