Thundering Hooves Half Pig

[eternal]

Just ordered one. I saw an earlier post to get the jowl bacon so check on that. Other than that, any recommendations for choosing cuts? I figure I want the pork chops cut into double cut, the bacon with the skin on and the ears, feet and tail for fejoida. Anything else to think about? Never ordered a pig before.

Congrats. Anything near the spine is good. Belly and shoulders are totally versatile. I'm trying to like head and hocks more each year -- please share your discoveries!

Pig ordered and arriving in Dec. I couldn't get the ears or anything else with skin as they skin their pigs. Said the big processors scald the animals which is why they can offer those pieces.
