Bulk pork example of half hog for freezer
Here’s a half hog order for a family in January of 2022. Half hogs are great for a family of two, and they will easily fit in a freezer above a fridge if it were empty. Just know, everyone’s biggest piece of feedback from a half hog is that they wish they’d claimed a whole. 😉
