What Is a Pork Share?
A pork share is a portion of a whole hog, processed and packaged for your freezer. A whole pork share is the entire animal, while a half pork share is one side. Like beef shares, pork shares are customized to your preferences — including chops, roasts, bacon, sausage, and other cuts.
