That’s all folks.

The Yoenis Cespedes pig saga has reached conclusion, as the Mets outfield sent Monday’s $7,000 purchase at the St. Lucie County Fair to the butcher, according to The Post’s Mike Puma.

Cespedes told reporters he wasn’t allowed to keep the 270-pound grand-champion hog, which he had won an auction for.

The pig, raised by a member of the local 4-H club, was the latest head-turning move by Cespedes, who has shown up to spring training in increasingly ludicrous cars before he and Noah Syndergaard channeled their inner cowboy on Tuesday, showing up to camp on horses.
