Kunekune Pork

Pricing

• Slaughter Fee: $120 per pig

• Farmer Fee: $3.50 per pound of hanging weight

• Butcher Fee: $.90 per pound of hanging weight, plus any extras you request

Depending on the size of the pig, you'll get about 75 pounds of cut and wrapped pork from a whole pig. If you get the most basic cuts from the butcher, you final cost will be around $600. If you fill out your cut sheet like we did below to get lots of bacon and sausage, your final cost will be around $850. This works out to a total cost of about $10 per pound.

The Process

After your pig is slaughtered, it will be taken to Sweeney's Country Style Meats in Bremerton. They will determine the hanging weight of the pig. At this point, you can pay the Slaughter Fee and the remainder of your Farmer Fee to Chico Creek Farms. Sweeney's will ask you what butcher cuts you want, if you want anything smoked for an extra fee, and if you have any special requests. They will call you when your pork is ready to be picked up, at which point you can pay the Butcher Fee to Sweeney's. Sweeney's can be contacted at (360) 692-8802 or by stopping in at their location at 9690 Brownsville Hwy NE, Bremerton. Below is a copy of the cut sheet they will ask you to fill out.
