We're getting a hog from a friend of the family. He is currently walking around @ 260lbs.
He's getting delivered to the butcher this week and we need to order the cuts. Never had one done before...looking for experienced input on what to order. Here's what I know I want:
One shoulder cut into pork steaks
Other shoulder whole
Back Ribs
Side/Spare Ribs
Pork Belly (making my own bacon)
Loins cut 3/4" thick
Not sure what to do with the hams. Grind everything else into bulk sausage.
Anything I'm not thinking about?
