Last hog I bought was $200 cut wrapped and in the freezer. To keep your costs down at the processing plant DO NOT have them smoke anything that is where they hammer you. have them slice the bellies into thirds and smoke them yourself. and have them leave the hams whole and do them yourself as well.

just bought a half-o-cow.  looking at $700.  that doesn't include processing, etc.

Man Oh Man, when I looked into doing this I got prices around.

2.99 LB and .89 LB for processing.

They had recommended anywhere from 100 to 150 LB pig.

the 210 did not include cut and rapping

Don't be sad, that sounds about right to me. :)
Last time I bought a half a hog was a buck a pound and the pig was 200lbs, so half was $100.
plus I had to pay cut and wrap on top of that.
Cut and wrap right now here in N. Idaho is 50 cents a pound.
I just had 3 steers processed and there was a $50 mobile slaughter fee per animal, too.

The pig we got this summer was $165 for the pig and $85 for the processing.  We had it just done into basic stuff nothing special as fare as spices or smoking.  It was for 4H club so we paid a little more.  There is a local farmer that will sell them for 75-85 depending on the size and market price.  We like it big so that we get enough meat to last us until the next summer.  We also got 1/4 of a cow so between that and the 15 chickens and the rest of the mess i keep buying at the store it is 22 cubic feet of fullness.
