Description

Bringing home a whole pig from Lutz Farm means filling your freezer with a complete selection of high-quality Michigan raised pork in one efficient purchase.

Why Buy a Whole Pig?

A whole pig provides the full range of cuts from your animal, including:

• Pork chops
• Pork steaks
• Shoulder roasts
• Spare ribs
• Hams
• Bacon
• Smoked hocks
• Ground pork and sausage options

Buying whole delivers the best overall value per pound while offering maximum variety for grilling, smoking, slow cooking, and everyday meals.

What to Expect

Whole pigs from Lutz Farm typically weigh approximately 275 to 300 lbs live weight. After processing, customers generally take home approximately 155 to 185 lbs of professionally packaged pork depending on final cutting preferences and trimming selections.

With livestock and processing combined, the average cost ranges from approximately 2.25 to 2.45 per lb based on live weight, or roughly 3.65 to 4.35 per lb of finished packaged pork.

All pork is vacuum sealed, clearly labeled, and boxed for convenient storage.

Freezer Space Needed

A whole pig typically requires 6 to 8 cubic feet of freezer space, equal to a medium chest freezer or over half of a standard upright freezer.

Processing Timeline

Processing typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on seasonal demand and butcher availability.
