For the home chef:

Many of our customers like to get their whole or half hog in primal cuts – this allows them to do their own charcuterie and final butchery. This is also the third cheapest way to buy pork. The first is a whole skinned hog, and the second is a whole scalded hog. Buying your whole hog in primals gives you the flexibility to transform your own pig into delicious culinary creations.
