Gonna need a pig!

[Mtn.Ghost]

We are gonna need a whole pig for roasting for my niece's graduation from college party.
Party is going to held in mid July.
I think we need a pig in the 80-100# range maybe up to 125ish.
Anyone have a reliable source you would recommend.

Fun!!!

Haven't done a whole pig, someday "bucket list"

I think a bunch of folks raise hogs on here.  I have a hereford gilt in that range but I am raising her to breed.

Got it handled thanks

Got it handled thanks

I've convinced my wife to let me roast a pig when the weather is a bit warmer. Mind sharing where you picked it up from?

[kenzmad]

Last one we did we got from Olsens Meats in Enumclaw.

you can get them at cash and carry, frozen tho

I checked C&C they are kinda pricey especially for a frozen pig $4.40 lb.
I do buy a lot of my primal cuts from them for large party occasions though.
Called all the butcher shops in my area and was able to get a decent deal on a fresh
pig ready to go $3.39 lb for a 80-150 #'er.

Thanks for the input, good looking out

The price in the real world is down right now.  You should be able to get a 100# pig for about $200.  If you cook it above ground it needs  to be scalded, skin on, if in a pit not a big deal.

I saw one on CL the other day, 450# live weight for $75.00. I was tempted think of the sausage you could make.

This is where I get my pork shoulders an ribs for smoking. Picked up a couple boxes of pork belly "frozen" for bacon man that was good

Just ordered all the components to build the "HOG FATHER"    the rotisserie of all rotisserie's 

Looked at many of the pro built setups they want $800-$1500 for and decided I needed a project. Most everyone's so called heavy duty model will only handle a max recommended spit load of 80-125 #'s due to motor's max torque production of around 180 in.lbs they sell that motor for $299 alone. I found a 1/4 hp motor that produces 600 in.lbs at 6 rpm for an overhung load of 350+lbs for $325.

All total I will be in it for $500 and it will be far superior to anything of it's style offered commercially for $800-$1500+

Can't wait until all the parts come in and I get it all together

What you aren't digging a pit whats wrong with you man  a pit roasted pig is the only way to go whole hog.

Can't go wrong with the luau pig I will agree Done that many times throughout the years being as I'm part Hawaiian. We used to have a family luau every summer when most of our island elders were still alive. I just thought I would expand my skill set and try the rotisserie action with the pig maybe a whole deer or a couple elk quarters in the fall. Maybe a HW gathering?

Go to Stewarts Meats they sell whole pigs 2.99 LB they even have a website if you want to check it out. I have been their a lot and only have good things to say about them.

[Mtn.Ghost]

Hmmm.....$2.99# is their whole locker pig price cut and wrapped for a 200#'er.
BBQ and Luau pigs normally go at a lighter weight for heavier $$$$.

$2.99# would be a smoke'n deal for a bbq pig from any good retail butcher but more likely to find a Dodo Bird pushing a cart full of egg's

Thank you for the tip though, I will shoot them a call tomorrow just to make sure. They just may have a Dodo on that list of exotic game. It's also 90+ miles to yelm from my cave.

Not being a true arse, just full of BS and Bullroar this evening

The motor for my custom heavy duty spit rotisserie finally showed up via fedex today
I just need to hit the hardware store for some nuts/bolts etc. I'll be mess'n around over the next couple weeks building the machine.
   I also just picked up 2 brand new unlined and unpainted 55 gal. drums to build a couple UDS's one as a house warming gift for my brother's new house he is just finishing up, it should go nice on his 260' of fully covered, grade level, finished concrete, wrap around ranch porch. I also have 6 cedar raised garden box's to get crack'n on for mamma, no more bending over crawling on the ground....kinda a bummer in a way

no problem they have THE BEST meat. for 2.99 a pound the whole pig (about 200 pounds) would cost about $569.
they do have a lot of exotic meats maybe try some python and rattle snake while your their

I think a bunch of folks raise hogs on here.  I have a hereford gilt in that range but I am raising her to breed.   

I raise registered Herefords about 100 miles north of you.

I ended up selling that gilt...she was a pain in the neck.  Are you going to have any weaner for sale this year?

I'll have weaners available the end of June and currently have a couple of young sows available that will hang at 180-200.

i've got a couple now that are around 90-100 lb live weight.  I can butcher it for you (scrape and pull the guts out) now and freeze it so it will be about what you are looking for.  call me in the next couple days as "d" day for that pig is this saturday.
