We plan for one whole hog and one whole sheep, goat, or combination annually per full share, plus one whole bird or rabbit each week. On average, it comes out to 4-5 pounds per week, not including fat, soup bones, and offal. There may be an adjustment period to get used to whole animal use and what cuts are available.
