well, I spent the afternoon at his house for thanksgiving dinner. Even went out to the shed to look at an old chainsaw and I could hear the hogs on the other side of the wall. He never brought it up so he must have someone else lined up. No big deal.

I've had "family" deals with him before and our ideas of that are generally very different. I won't work for or with him for any reason because of it. But a young man learns that along the way about family,some family.

I can see there are two schools of thought for the people on this board. One is "too high, don't pay it". The other is "it's worth it, better than store bought"

I'm a little of both sides. I think he's above market price but if he can get that price from people than let them pay it. If it's the last hog and he can't get rid of it, why am I getting one nobody wants? I have no clue what they are being fed or injected. Not my fault if I want to pay market price and he needs more to break even. He shouldn't be raising hogs at a loss if the market isn't there for what he produced. If he could convince me that the quality of the hog is worth the price then I'd consider a higher price.

As far as taste compared to the store bought. I've been eating store bought for so long it's good to me. If I'm getting some extra chemicals along the way, so be it. I've gotten bigger doses of chemicals at work that I'm sure are much worse for me.

In the end, if he offers it to me the price would need to be lower. I don't want him to loose money but I'm not going to subsidize his poor choices either. When money changes hands, it doesn't matter if he is relation. He has made that clear from his actions in the past.

Good discussion, thanks.
