You will be invoiced the day we drop off and the final payment will be due two weeks after drop off.
 
Please read and agree to the payment terms prior to reserving your pig. Your deposit will be deducted from the total price.  Non-payment of the balance of your pig may result in forfeiture of your pig and your deposit.
 
BUTCHERING
 
Processing cost to the butcher is SEPARATE and must be paid to them at pickup. You are paying them for the service of cutting up and wrapping your meat under USDA inspection. Butcher price varies based on sausage and curing, but will be $90-$130 for each half. Custom Processing is by USDA facility Chenoa Locker in Chenoa, IL. The butcher will walk you through the cut order to get your pig exactly as you want it. It is very easy. You may get back the pork lard, bones, organs, and even the head upon special request. You'll have more options for sausage if you purchase a whole hog, as there is a 10 lb minimum of each sausage variety. Pork will be available for you to pick up directly at the butcher
in Chenoa, IL 3-4 weeks after butcher date. Pork will be frozen by the butcher ahead of pickup. They will call you directly when it is ready for pickup.
