Farm-Fresh Pork Buyer FAQ'S & Order Form

You're buying a portion of a locally raised hog from 4M Livestock — either a whole, half, or quarter. Your share includes premium cuts like bacon, ham, sausage, pork chops, ribs, and roasts, all custom cut, vacuum sealed, and ready for your freezer.

 We sell pork by hanging weight at $6.50lbs, which includes the cost of raising, feeding, and butchering the hog.

• Hanging weight is the weight of the carcass after slaughter (before cutting, trimming, and packaging).
• You pay for your portion based on this hanging weight.

 Hanging weight is typically about 72% of the live weight. For example, a 300 lb hog will have a hanging weight of about 216 lbs. From that, you'll receive approximately 65% as packaged meat.

Whole Hog:

Approximate hanging weight - 216lbs

Approximate Take-Home meat - 145lbs

Half Hog:

Approximate hanging weight - 108lbs

Approximate Take-Home meat - 72lbs

Quarter Hog:

Approximate hanging weight - 54lbs
