How much does it cost to buy a pig?

Yeah, I was going to give a proper answer, but now I won't.

Yeah, this topic did turn boar-ish very quickly.

Nope. It's gone belly-up.

Now we just have to wait for the mods to bring an end to this curly tail.

My question was slightly wrong. I meant how much is a pig worth to a farmer when they sell it?

I don't actually want to buy a pig though I was reading a passage in the bible in Mark 5 where Jesus casts out many deamons from a deamon possessed man into a herd of about 2000 pigs. The local people then pleaded with Jesus to leave.

I just wondered how much those pigs might be worth to the people of the time, which might show why they wanted to get rid of jesus.

Cheers.

Fairly cheap I would imagine... in fact, you might have to pay someone to take them away. I'm fairly sure Possession violates health and safety regulations.

Clear up the litter and send it to the great wasteland in the sty.

Yeah, the mods are always hamdy for that.

Does anyone know how much it costs to buy a pig? I'm in the UK but, either a value in dollars or pounds should be fine.

Market rates are somewhere around $42-45 per 100 pounds.

Welll I don't have anything to add to this other than to say this has been my favourite thread title ever.

A dozen jelly donuts usually suffices.

Not Much! But After having gone thru *2* I can assure you ""it's cheaper to keep her""

The average rate for bribing a policeman is unknown.

That was funny to me! Not that I like to insult police officers, but where I live (a very small town) many are unethical, incompetent, and mean.

Even funnier, hehe!

I'm not sure how much it costs to buy a pig. However, around here, you can rent them for $10/day, and long-term leases are also available. Since most people only need pigs for a few hours or so, this is much more cost effective than purchasing one.

hmmm, I'm a little lost now! Maybe I got off track in the thread somehow! why are pigs needed for just a day or a few hours?

Market rate is somewhere around $0.50 per pound for the farmer...but varies on type of pig. ei free-range, organic, factory etc.
