How the grind works
On a typical hog with a full cut sheet we expect about 7 pounds of grind. That trim is included in cut-and-wrap.
Want more ground pork? Leave off some of the other cuts (chops, roasts, ribs, etc.) and we will grind that extra trim. There is no separate grind fee — you trade cuts for pounds of grind.
