For a 4H project my son bought 40 50 pound feeder pigs. They are getting big and will be marketed in Jan- February We were told they can be sold on Facebook if you reword it correctly. I think this is going to be harder than I thought. I know it will be hard getting them all butchered in separate stores for people.
Does anyone have ideas on marketing these pigs and how to word the Facebook market ads. I know Pipestone, MN has a weekly market at .54/ pd. That won’t cover the costs. I was told I could get .85 for these premium market animals if I sell them to individuals.
Do a Facebook marketplace search of “pork, hog, sausage meat” etc and see what comes up.
Copy the “meat” out of the best sounding ad and tailor it for your son.
My guess is that you both will get an education (both good and what needs improvement) for next time. Because most folks are going to assume you have the locker slots already spoken for? |
