Wild Boar shanks come from the section of the boar’s leg starting just below the knee and ending above the hock. This flavorful meat is lean and high in gelatin, making it best suited to slow cooking methods like roasting and braising.

Wild boar hindshanks and foreshanks are quite similar and can be used interchangeably in recipes.

Food & Wine Magazine has called our wild boar “the ultimate sustainable meat” – read the full article. Unlike much of the wild boar on the market, ours isn’t farm-raised—it’s truly wild, trapped in the Texas Hill Country.

Wild-caught wild boar has a distinct game flavor that farm-raised Wild Boar simply cannot match. Although similar to domestic pork and farm-raised Wild Boar, wild Wild Boar has a deeper color, leaner texture, tighter grain, and bolder taste.
