Once a hog has reached an average of 230 pounds and 4.5 to 6.5 months of age, it is considered ready to market.
A market hog is typically around 5-6 months old when it is ready for sale and processing for pork production.

That depends on the breed of hog and genetics of it's parents. Generally, when a hog stops growing and starts gaining too much fat, it is at market weight. But if you are not good at judging fat on a hog, 275 pounds is a middle market weight for most commercial breeds.
This depends on what type of meat animal you are referring to. For instance, a beef steer is ready to be butchered between 18 and 24 months of age. A broiler is ready to be slaughtered at around 3 weeks of age, and a market hog at around 2 to 3 months.

The value of a market hog at slaughter is primarily determined by its weight, quality grade, and market demand. Heavier hogs typically yield more meat, which can increase their value, while quality grading assesses factors such as marbling and fat composition that affect meat quality. Additionally, fluctuations in market demand due to consumer preferences and supply chain conditions also play a significant role in determining a hog's value.
