The girls had about $430 total investment in the pigs.
They paid $150 for each of them as babies, the rest of the money went to feeding
and worming them over the 85 days they had them.
The actual slaughter price for the pigs was .37lbs, that is what the butcher
bought the pigs back from the buyers for.
Okay, local business bought the pigs and then sold them to the packing house.
