How Much Does A Feeder Pig Cost. I had a farmer quote me a price of $65 for forty pound weaners. Your next feed option should be used with another feeder option, but you can grow a garden for your pigs or feed them garden scraps.
The cost of feeding a pig is $85.05 per pig (see table 1). That’s 14 bags at 25kg, at a price of $18.95 per bag, or $265.30 per pig. That will be your cost if you plan to slaughter and butcher the hog yourself.
This cost varies primarily because of two major factors;
Based on per head price of 13 pound weaned pig at $44.75 per pig. Feeder pig $200 + feed $216 + butchering $150=$566 total cost for raising and butchering the pig. For pigs to reach 250 pounds, it would take another 6 months to feed and raise them. As the number of pigs marketed per sow per year increases from 14 pigs to 18 pigs, the cost per pig decreases more than 3.00 per head.
