What's do you think the meat/fat ratio in a butt? 50/50?

Go to the butchers counter and order as much trimmings as you need. I paid about .50 cents a lb last fall.

I use pork butt 50/50 when I want to use pork, what's really convenient for grinding though if the"pork for green chili" they sell at King Soopers, it's already all cubed up ready to go in grinder.

Does anyone have a line on where I can pick up some skin on pork shoulder? None of the butcher shops in Longmont carry it. Looking at the photo above of the split hog reminds me that Its time to make some Bayrischer Schweinebraten (Bavarian Roast Pork) with crackling skin. Add potato dumplings and a large German lager and happy, happy, happy.

I've seen pork fat sold at some King Soopers, the littleton one used to have it all the time but the one I go to now in Arvada doesn't. Not sure if they sell pork fat, but Tony's meats in littleton always had beef fat to buy. I can't really make out a difference between the two

Whole Foods usually has it as well. I’ve had more luck there than king Soopers in the past.

Butchers start their day early and are done before noon. Get your ass outta bed and down to to the butcher shop and talked to them.

Thanks for all the positive suggestions everyone. I've found an outlet - a game processor that I used to use.
