SW Minnesota | I must have quit farrowing around the same time you did. I always remember the home raised chops as being almost as good as a beef steak. When we went to custom feeding we would either be given a pig or butcher a downer. It just seemed like those pigs weren't as good. It seemed to me they were too lean. Over the last 10 years I have bought Berkshire pork from different neighbors. There is a difference in the quality of the fat and marbling but the Berks are always fatter and better tasting. The premium you pay varies even more. My current source charges a flat $50/head plus the market price. I would say that is well worth it. | |
