Our boar meat comes from truly wild animals that are trapped – not hunted – in Texas, where they forage on a natural diet of grass, roots, nuts, fruits, acorns, and grains. That contributes to the unique flavor of wild boar meat; it’s somewhat like lean pork, only darker, redder and more intense. These wild boar shanks are available in two cuts: the foreshank and hindshank. The foreshank has a tapered shape and a longer bone, while the hindshank, offers a bit more meat in a compact package. Both offer tasty meat, so choose the right size for your occasion - or appetite - and cook ‘em low and slow.
