We get questions about this all the time, so it seemed like it was time to do a full scale breakdown. The last pork share that we kept for our family had a hanging weight of 170lbs. On this post you will find pictures of the finished pork. I have listed out the approximate weight of each type of cut we received below.
Something to note: If you would like more traditional looking ham and bacon, you will want to have your meat smoked. We choose not to have our meat smoked because the smoke spices contain sugar. We do have a pretty great recipe for curing our ham and bacon, which we are happy to share upon request. Maybe that will someday make it on the farm page!
15 lbs. Bacon
27 lbs. Ground Pork
15 lbs. Pork Loin Roast
5 lbs. Pork Spare Ribs
17 lbs. Pork Butt Roast
5 lbs. Pork Chops
7 lbs. Pork Rib Roast
2.5 lbs. Baby Back Ribs
11 lbs. Ham Steak
12 lbs. Ham
2 lbs. Tenderloin
This is not the exact cut sheet for the meat above, but it is similar.
I hope this is helpful information!!
