All I see is a bunch of numbers. How do you make heads or tails of them. Come on Cappie, give the web site so we can translate!
 
I don't like doing hogs under 100 pounds, they are inmature and have not developed the flavor I like.
Out here when buying hog they have a set price for pigs under a 100 pounds lets use $100, then when they go over 101 pounds I get the extra weight for only a couple of dollars more than the 70 pounder.

Can't remember where I got it. I saved it as a document.

The first column is the pig before being dressed.
The second column is the weight when dressed.
Third column is weight after cooking.
4th column is servings you'll get at a 1/4 pound per, which is not
enough for my crowds.
 
That's the most inaccurate thing I have ever seen. Figure 1/2 pound per person and multiply by two. That's your dressed whole hog weight. Worked for me after the last ten years. :) :grin:
