Berkshire Hog

Well, it looks to be official!  Got an email from Big Dog and it looks like we will be picking up a whole dressed Berkshire hog on Friday, Feb 15 and from there will be breaking down into primals and subprimals over the following couple of days.  Looking to make hams, bacon (at least two types), bbq shoulder, some sausages as well as some charcuterie items we haven't totally decided upon yet!
We're all really looking forward to working with this breed of hog and there's sure to be a large number of photos and descriptions of what we end up doing, so check back often as we finalize plans for the Berkshire.

    Congratulations Mike & co. This looks like an interesting site and one that I will be checking with regularity. Although we don't have that many, that I have seen anyways, "black pigs" out here in the prairies, we do have a very large hog supply. I am sure we can use the methods on our pigs just as well. Keep up the good work and BTW, good job on the podcast.
