I raise pigs and sell them to folks who roast them whole. It's usually polys, samoans, tongans etc..

I go off the live weight and usually charge around $3.00/lb if they are buying the live animal. I primarily raise kunekune and idaho pasture pigs which range from 200-400lbs when full grown. So anywhere from $600 to $1,200. Sometimes people want the sucklings which are under 20 lbs, I charge $250 for those since you can sell the piglets for $200 all day. For roasters, 20-50lbs, I'll go from $300-400 depending on the size.

You can make a lot of money off of pigs if you have the market for it. My best friend is married to a Samoan girl, she seems to have a never ending family so I sell tons to them, I kick them $50 for every pig they help me sell.

I got a whole pig for the Super Bowl. On Saturday we stuffed it with fruit, wrapped it in foil, burlap and chicken wire. We dug a deep hole and lined it with rocks. We lit a fire until the rocks were glowing orange, then we put the pig in the hole and buried it. We dug it up the next day and had a big Superbowl feast. There was a little beer involved, and I ended up with a bloody nose while wearing boxing gloves.

My brother in law and a few of his brothers did it on the side as a business if I'm not mistaken. They did tons of parties for people all through the summer. We've had quite a few pig roast parties in our family. So good.
