Dear Friend,

 ·       Do you like good fresh pork, ham, sausage or pork chops? If so, here's your opportunity! You can get a half or a whole!

·       Loudon County 4-H members have show pigs for sale this year. The pigs range in size from 150 to 300 pounds.

·       The final show will be on Jan. 11th. The pigs will go to slaughter in February.

·       The kid's bought most pigs from breeders in October. The pigs have been on full feed since then. So they should yield top      quality pork.

·       A 250 pound pig will give you about 175 pounds of meat. We have most of the pigs processed locally.

·       Here's the price breakdown for an average 250 pound pig: 

     250 lb. X $2.75=$687.50 (This is what the 4-Her receives)

    $250 processing fee for a whole or $125 for a half.

    Total: $937.50 for an average 250 pound pig or $468.75 for a half.

    Smaller pigs would cost less and larger pigs would be more.    

·      If you are interested in purchasing 1/2 or a whole hog, contact me 865-458-5613 (office) or 865-250-8312 (cell).

 Thank-You!!!
