Step 1 – Personal Information

Ham

2 Hams per Whole Hog and 1 Ham per Half Hog. Whole Hog: You may have one fresh and one cured if desired.

Bacon

Bacon and Fresh Side come from the pork belly (pork side). Bacon is cured while Fresh Side is left uncured.

Jowls

Jowls come from the neck of the hog. Cured Jowls are good for seasoning in brown beans and black eyed peas.

Loin

Pork Chops and Loin Roasts come from the Loin section of the hog. There are 2 Loins per Whole Hog and 1 Loin per Half Hog. Whole Hog: You may have one Loin cut into chops and one Loin as roasts.

Pork Shoulder

Pork Shoulder is made of the Boston Butt and Picnic. The Boston Butt can be left fresh and cut into steaks, Country Style Ribs and/or roasts, or cured and made into Arkie Style Bacon. The Boston Butt can also be made into a Seasoned Pork Shoulder Roast. (We tumble the roast in a vacuum tumbler with seasoning. These are very good for cooking on a wood smoker.) The Picnic can be left fresh and cut into roasts. There are 2 Shoulders per Whole Hog and 1 Shoulder per Half Hog.

Sausage

Sausage comes in three different spices: mild, medium or hot. If you do not want Sausage, you can choose to leave the seasoning out and have Ground Pork.
