Butt Steak

Pork is the kind of protein we all love. Cost effective, nutrient dense, and when raised outdoors, it's delicious. We select our pigs for their mothering skills, the fat:muscle ratios, and size. We feed them to get beautifully marbled and wonderfully flavoured meat without the excess fat.

Our cuts are priced by the pound so a deposit is taken and your final weight is calculated upon shipping.

More about This Cut

This little known cut is one of our family favourites. Pork steaks, sometimes referred to as a Boston butt or pork blade steak, are steaks cut from the shoulder of the pig. These contain a bone and are heavily marbled. We find they are best done in a slow cooker with onions and mushrooms to render all that fat down into an amazing sauce. Some parts of this cut are a bit more sturdy while others can be quite tender so the slow cooking is well suited here.

Calculating Weights and Cost

These are wrapped up with 2/package for 9.34/lb. They are sold with a $14.00 deposit with the total calculated upon weighing and due upon shipping.

Safe cooking Temperatures

Pork should be cooked to 145 degrees.

We love our Meator thermometer for cooking, we are a busy household and being able to monitor the progress remotely is a big help.

FAQ

Can we buy bulk pork?

For sure you can. It's actually much more economical to buy a half or whole animal.

We can organize this for you, with the classic typical cut options you find on this site. And for those that understand the butchering cuts, special arrangements can be made for us to deliver an animal to the butcher when the animal is ready and for you to organize with the butcher to have the animal cut to your specifics.

If this is something you are interested in, please email Brian here to make inquiries and arrangements.

Is this pastured pork?

We are close but not quite. Our sows often farrow indoors away from the others in a farrowing pen. They are moved outside to a small pen until the piglets are ready to wean. The young market pigs then spend their time in large pens, digging, rooting, and playing.

We would love to have them on pasture but as with our chickens, it's the challenge of water, protection from wild predators, and monitoring them so far from home. And they'd miss out on all the kitchen scraps, which are pretty popular!

What breed of pigs do you raise?

Brian has experimented with quite a few breeds at this point, and each have features to benefit from. The sows we have are a mix of breeds as Brian was looking for hardiness to live outdoors, moderate fat, heavily muscled, mothering instincts, and mild temperament.
