Does anyone know where you can buy a whole pig to roast in San Marcos, TX?

Question

We're having a luau in September for a birthday and want to roast a pig. I have no idea how much they cost or where to get one as we have only lived in Texas for two months. Thanks!

You can order a pig from a local butcher.

I hope you've done this before, it's very difficult to do it right. I once saw a very respected chef really botch a pig roast.

When I owned a catering company (and restaurant) if the client wanted a luau menu we would by the pig already roasted from a BBQ joint.  They had the giant smoker you really need.  (The in the ground method is very inconsistent)
