hey Daniel, we have done a few of them and really enjoy the quality of meat we get. generally speaking, here is how things turn out, with a picture of some of the chops.

We feed an average of 3-4 lbs per pig per day of regular grain. The grass stays pretty fresh with a move every 7-10 days. Add to that a couple of extra chicken eggs every now and again. The pigs usually finish out around 200-225 lbs live weight in about 10-12 months. Our feed costs around $1 per pig per day (late 2022 numbers).

Those are the rough numbers. Does that help?
