That's pretty cheap then. I'm guessing whoever it is doesn't rely on those pigs for their living.

That's what I thought too.

He lives on a farm. Makes hay all summer, he brought me some of the best apples I've ever had in my life, seems like he bought the pigs on a whim cuz they were cheap, and he has probably a 3/4 job driving truck at night. So yeah, clearly doesn't need it, and it might be the friends and family (and boss) discount.

It's actually a thing. I hear small ranchers, especially ones that try to direct market products, complain about hobby farmers that are doctors or lawyers or something raising animals for a hobby and selling them at a loss and people who are trying to make a living having to compete with them.

Lot of people in my part of the world raise a limited number of cattle, hogs, or whatever. Just enough to get the ag exemption for other stuff they buy like tractors, utility vehicles and other equipment.

Ah, guess it doesn't include processing. But he still says that a whole hog should be $3xx or so. Which seems like a pretty good deal

And then he brought me a chuck roast and a dozen patties and asked if I wanted any beef.
