What Do You Really Get in a Half Pork Share? (Here's the Breakdown)

Ever wonder what actually fills your freezer when you invest in a Half Pork Share?

Let's break it down visually so you can see where your pork comes from and what percentage of your share each cut typically takes up.

Picture your half hog as 100% of the meat you’ll receive—custom cut just for you.

Here's how that typically shakes out:

• Chops & Loins – 25% This includes bone-in or boneless pork chops, tenderloin, and maybe even a T-bone style chop (if requested). These are your quick, weeknight-friendly meals.
  

• Roasts – 20% Think Boston Butt (great for pulled pork) and picnic roasts. Perfect for slow cooking or smoking.
  

• Ground Pork & Sausage – 20% A customer favorite! Choose from plain ground or seasoned sausage. Easy to use, family-friendly, and freezer staples.
  

• Bacon & Belly – 15% Yup, realllll bacon and pork belly. The good stuff.
  

• Ribs – 10% Baby backs or spare ribs depending on how you cut the loin. Either way, you’re getting BBQ-worthy goodness.
  

• Ham – 10% Whole, halved, or sliced—cured or fresh. Delicious for holiday meals and sandwiches all year long.
  

Every share is custom-cut to your family’s preferences, so percentages may shift a little based on your choices. But this gives you the big picture.

When you buy a half hog, you're not just getting a pile of random pork—you're getting a balanced mix of cuts that’ll carry you through everything from Taco Tuesday to Sunday dinner.
