Whole Roast

Where can I buy a hog for a pig roast, and how much will the whole pig cost?

I want to have a pig roast. Have any tips for starting one? How popular are they, and how should I cook the whole pig? How long?

Look in the Yellow Pages for a meat processing company. That's where beef and swine farmers take their animals to be processed (butchered). They often sell retail there and might have a hog for you to buy. If they don't, ask them to give you the name of a hog farmer they know who regularly brings in hogs to butcher. They will know of some, I promise. And, this is the place you'll bring (or have the farmer bring) the animal for processing. The one my father went to cost about 30 cents per pound. You only pay for the "hanging" weight, though. That's the weight of the hog after it's been beheaded, hoofed, gutted, and skinned...about 75% of it's body weight.

If you don't have access to a meat processing company, you'll need to go directly to the farmer. Is there a grain co-op in your area? The staff there will know of a reputable farmer.

You can also advertise in the classifieds. Something like "Wanted: hog for hog roast". Or, craigslist.com has a "farm market" section, and you can advertise there.

As for roasting a hog, you'll need a special hog roaster. The ones I've seen are usually a converted metal drum or tank, split in halves and turned on it's side, with a rack installed. You can buy them specially made, too. You can also rent one, too. Check your local rental center.
