Did you raise the hog or find bellies for sale somewhere?

I raised them

[Angry Perch]

Do you do them skin on?

Also, what type of pigs do you raise?

York Berkshire cross and also purebred Berkshire

Thanks for the reply, looks amazing.  With enough smoke they would appear cured like bacon and be much improved over most of the store stuff

Yum, real pigs! You must just chuckle at the white meat pork in the grocery stores.

That's one thing that always blows me away when we cut and wrap our pork is how beautiful dark pink the meat is. I think I read somewhere the Berkshire meat is a bit darker that most other breeds of hogs. We raised 3/4 Berk and 1/4 Duroc this year, maybe it was my imagination but I thought the meat was a bit darker in color compared to our last years Yorkshire/Landrace meat. It's ALL good though!

The sad thing is, most people want the white meat. Might as well buy boneless, skinless chicken breasts. bleck!

[Southpole]

Sad indeed

Any pig you raise at home will be far better than store the more you can pasture them.the darker the meat will be but berks are extremely good!
