Yeah, it appears that Mr. Tumlinson has quit buying, or at least can't be easily reached.

Besides the buyer colt45 mentions above, there are a couple of guys who have posted flyers around Lee County (although they're in Elgin, which is either Bastrop or Travis County) saying they buy live hogs.

Question - do they buy only boars? How about sows, big or small?

It's my understanding that there is a minimum weight, maybe 80 Lbs, although it's been known to vary. A call to a local buyer will get you accurate info, and they can also tell you what they're paying. Typically they pay so much per pound, and sometimes a bonus for each hog exceeding a certain weight. Those numbers change periodically.

AFAIK they buy both boars and sows.

I met Steve about a week ago. He's still there and still buying hogs. He lives where 430 makes a 90 turn to the north and has a black metal pig by the street. I have property near by.

I'm curious where all these hogs eventually end up? I mean what do the hog buyers do with all the hogs?

The guy that I sell to will pay for anything 50 pounds>, boar or sow.
He said that he sells to processors and to licensed game ranches.

Tumlinson @ Dime Box still buys. The phone number on the State list is incorrect.


In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

I sent the right phone# to Dale. Looks like the 409 area code should nave been 979, the rest of the numbers are correct.

Steve told me that most of the meat goes to Europe and Asia.
