Heritage Breed - Pasture Raised - Red Wattle Pork Shares

Reserve your pig share for Winter 2024

A whole or half pig share is a wonderful way to stock your freezer with the highest quality, pasture-raised pork for the year. You'll take home somewhere between 100lbs (1/2 share) - 200lbs (whole share) of premium pork, depending on the weight of the pig, and your selection of cuts and oddments. 

Our pasture raised Heritage Breed Red Wattle pork has exceptional flavoring and quality.

We raise our pigs to approx 300lbs before taking them to the butchers for you, send you a cut sheet to customize, keep in contact with the butcher and will let you know when your meat is ready for pick up or delivery.

 What is the volume of a pig share?

If you want all the oddments (bones, head, trotters, fat, etc.) along with the classic cuts, you’ll want to have about 7 cubic feet of freezer space for a whole hog. 1 cubic foot is about the size of a milkcrate. If you don’t plan to take the oddments, you’ll need around 6 cubic feet of freezer space.

When do I get it? 

Our pigs will be slaughtered and butchered in November-December 2024, and you'll get your meat in mid-late December. We'll be in touch with you to schedule specific pickup dates at Rafter M Meats in Wilcox, AZ.  Alernatively you can have your meat delivered to Tucson or Sierra Vista for a $15 surcharge.  Rafter M makes a delivery trip to each location every 2 weeks.  Location and pickup date will be coordinated.
