What’s in a Berkshire Pig share? Here is a quick snapshot of cuts you will receive from an average size pig. Please keep in mind the weights below are approximated and will vary depending on the size of your pig. The cuts you receive will also vary depending on your custom cut sheet, except for the quarter pig share, which comes as a standard cut and cannot be customized.
The weights in the table below are in pounds by boxed weight based on an average size pig with hanging weights of 160 lbs (whole), 80 lbs (half) and 40 lbs (quarter). You will notice that the total boxed weight is much smaller than the hanging weight. This is due to the removal of bones, cartilage, sinew and excess fat during processing.
