What is a pork share?

Here at the Davis Family Farm we usually kill the animals in November, just as they're tipping the scales at around 200 pounds. It's a sad day here, even though we go in knowing how the pigs will come to their end, it's still not much fun.
They get slaughtered here, then delivered to Gartner's Country Meat Market in Portland.
In 2009 we charged $2.45, in 2010 the per pound price was $2.75, hanging weight which is what they weigh on the hook, before the bones are taken out or the fat trimmed.
An average half pork share ends up costing about $300 once you've paid for the animal, the slaughter, cut/wrap/cure.
