Our Ethically Raised Half Hog is ideal for customers who want excellent value and complete control over how their pork is cut and packaged. Purchasing a half hog allows you to receive half of one entire animal, custom processed to your specifications by our experienced butchers.

This is a traditional, transparent way to buy pork—supporting responsible farms and making full use of the animal. Average rail weight is ~100 lbs. $6.25 / lb rail weight. This is a deposit, balance is due upon pickup/delivery. 

How it works

Purchasing a half hog from Renick Valley Meats is simple and straightforward:

  1. Reserve your half hog here online by placing a deposit

  2. Choose your drop location and date

  3. We contact you to help you complete your custom cutting instructions 

  4. Final pricing is calculated based on rail weight at processing

  5. Pick up your pork at your selected location when it’s ready

We’re a small, family-owned processor working with trusted regional farms to bring real, quality meat from pasture to your table — no guessing where it came from, how it was handled, or how it was raised. 

We know whole animal purchasing has a lot of confusing terminology. Watch this video of Jesse explaining some of the more commonly used terms here.

What you'll receive

A half hog provides a generous assortment of cuts ready for everyday meals:

  • Pork chops or loin chops

  • Roasts (shoulder, ham)

  • Ribs

  • Ground pork and/or seasoned sausage

  • Option to cure Bacon, Jowls, and Hams

Your hog will be cut and packaged based on your preferences. Once your hog is scheduled, we'll reach out to get your custom cutting instructions.

Why buy a half hog?

Buying a half hog:

  • Gives you better value per pound than individual cuts

  • Helps you stock your freezer. Fewer grocery store trips

  • Lets you customize cuts to your family’s needs

  • Supports a regional food system and local farms

If you want a steady supply of quality pork and the freedom to choose your favorite cuts — from chops to roasts to ground pork — a half hog is one of the best ways to buy pork.
