About Hanging Weight

The price is based on the hanging weight, and includes cutting, wrapping and freezing. The hanging weight is the weight of the meat while it is naturally aging in the meat locker. Once the meat is cut and packaged into individual cuts the loss of the fat, bones and other trim amounts to about 35 to 45 % of the hanging weight. So the actual take home weight of a 200 pound hanging weight will be around 110 pounds.

A whole hog weighing around 200 pounds will take up around 6 to 9 cubic feet of freezer space.
