Hello,
I've been looking around my area and have found a place that raises berkshire hogs. Is there any special tips on what I should be looking for when purchasing a whole hog from a farmer or butcher? I'm working towards making my own hams, bacon, and bbq (of course) and in order to get all the goodies (jowel, fresh hams, pork bellies) this seems to be a good route.
What is an acceptable live weight for a pasture raised berkshire hog?
Any info or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh
