What Cuts Do You Get From a Half Pig?

A pig is divided into several sections that yield your favorite cuts:

  • Loin: Tenderloin, pork chops, baby back ribs
  • Ham: Cured ham, ham steak, uncured ham
  • Ribs: Spare ribs, country ribs
  • Bacon: Cured bacon, fresh side, belly
  • Boston Butt: Roasts
  • Picnic Shoulder: Picnic roast
  • Trim: Ground pork, sausage

pastured pork can be divided into these cuts at any butcher in the Lehigh Valley

Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you typically receive from a standard half pig order:

Standard Half Pig Cutting Order

  • Pork Chops: 32 (1-inch thick, center-cut, packaged 2 per pack)
  • Spare Ribs: 1 roll (approximately 3 pounds)
  • Ham: 18 pounds (note: curing will shrink this slightly)
  • Bacon: 7 pounds (cured or fresh side)
  • Shoulder/Roasts: 8 pork steaks and 2 roasts (approx. 6 pounds)
  • Ground Pork or Sausage: 9-10 pounds

In total, you can expect 65-70 pounds of pork from a half pig, though weights may vary slightly based on the pig’s size and your cutting preferences.
