Cut Sheet for Customized Hog Orders
  • Cut Sheet for Customized Hog Orders

  • Please note, there's a $1.35/lb smoking fee that is passed on directly from the processor (no upcharge on our end).

  • Butt

    Mainly used for pulled pork roasts or collar steaks (cooks and tasts similar to beef steaks). A standard cut, 185-lb hog yields 4 roasts and 16 collar steaks. Choose 2 options for a half-hog or multiple for a whole-hog. Options will be equally split unless otherwise specified.

  • Loin

    This is where pork chops come in...and also the tenderloin and baby back ribs. HOWEVER...For each half of a hog, you can get either all bone-in chops OR boneless chops, tenderloin and baby-back ribs. Lucky for those with a whole hog, you can do different things with each half. For instance, you can get bone-in chops from one half, and boneless chops, tenderloin and baby-back ribs from the other half. You may also choose EITHER loin roast OR Canadian bacon, however you cannot get chops with these options (unless it's a whole hog). We do, however, have Canadian Bacon for individual sale.

  • Bacon / Belly

    You may only choose both options with a whole hog. Smoked products contain nitrates.

  • Shoulder Picnic

    Similar to the butt, but best as a roast. Think Pulled pork. Choose either fresh or smoked roast, or turn half into sausage. Whole hog orders may choose both fresh and smoked.

  • Hocks

    The upper part of the legs, great for split pea soup and fall-off-the bone meat in collard greens. Many people will also choose turn their hocks into sausage, especially if not much else is dedicated toward sausage. Whole hog orders may choose both fresh and smoked.

  • Ham

    A ham is the upper leg and behind. Now, let's get ready for some simple math. A whole hog typically produces two 20-lb hams, one from each side. If we're talking one ham, (half-hog gets one ham), you may want to cut your ham in half, yielding 2 10-lb ham roasts. (You can also get it cut into quarters, yielding 4 small hams). From there, you have lots of options. For instance, you can keep one ham roast and turn the other half into sausage or steaks. OR, you may want one ham roast smoked and the other left fresh. With a whole hog, you have a max of 8 ham roasts. If you love sausage, and who doesn't, we suggest turning at least 1/2 your ham into sausage, especially if you are not dedicating many other items to sausage. Not a ham fan? Select only sausage. (But trust me, this ham has taken customers back to the rich flavor of their grandpas farm-raised pigs). **Upon request, the leg can be left whole if you're experienced with curing for prosciutto. Please note that improper curing can be dangerous to your health and is advised against if you are inexperienced or do not have the proper conditions for curing. We cannot advise on curing practices.**

  • Sausage & Ground (Trim)

    We've thought a lot about how we can overcome the processor's limitations on 1 or 2 sausage varieties for half and whole hog orders, respectively. With our special relationship and some math, we're happy to offer a wide choice of sausages and we will do our best to accomodate. Good news! All breakfast sausage will be the small links, a favorite! Unless otherwise specified, all sausage comes in link form. We cannot order Kielbasa or Brats in bulk. Please specify the proportions of each type of sausage.
