Hi Everyone.
I will have an extra hog in March, when butchering time comes around.
I was wondering if people had experience selling halves and whole hogs on Craigslist. Here's my plan, so far:
3.50/lb- hanging wt. buyer pays all processing fees. $100 deposit.
My understanding is that we cannot legally sell cuts of meat without USDA processing. So I can either have them take the live animal away or put them in contact with the kill man that I have used in the past and they can pay him directly his services, on site.
Is craigslist an ok way to go? I don't see many people doing what I'm proposing. Here are some other ideas.
I thought of putting up a notice on the bulletin board at the local gyms (for paleo people who desire pastured pork). There's a Saturday radio call in show , here locally that might work. I put the word out with the neighbors. So far, zero interest.
Also, should I start advertising now or wait for a month before my blue butt barrows are ready?
