prices for live bor hog

20 years ago

My hubby and I are looking at buy a bor hog (spelling?) and are curious as to what the current price per pound live weight is. Any help would be appreciated, we live in Arkansas if that matters. It is approx. one year old and is brown with black spots if that makes a difference too.

Thanks

Anywhere from 9 to 45 per cwt. at auctions here in Pa. depending on size, quality and whether there are more than 1 buyer needing a brood boar that day! Color make little difference(usually). A good lean gentics boar, of known bloodlines, may go for a good bit more.
