    I was just lamenting on another thread about the too lean pork at all the stores around here. Just came back from the Folsom farmers market with this. This is actually a pork loin, I think it could pass for beef. Never seen pig marbled so well. Now the question, how should I cook it? Slice into steaks and use like country ribs? Cook whole?

    If you have the time cook it whole, if not slice it up.

                So guessing cooker @ smoking temp, cook until 135-140° Internal?

                  Ok, that’s an awesome looking piece of pig, but gotta throw the BS flag on calling it a pork loin. There may be some "loin" in there somewhere but shape and muscle pattern is totally inconsistent with a straightforward piece of pork loin. Looks like awesome pig meat for sure. Enjoy!!!

                    Yeah, I have to agree, I bought it straight from the rancher that breeds these pigs, he called it a loin and labeled as such. Dunno, but sure looks good.

                    Oh yea... without further examination, I would guess what you have is closer to a pork butt than a piece of loin. Cook to sliceable or pullable temps. Still looks tasty, but loin it ain’t! Enjoy!

                      I just sent the breeder an email, will see what he says. I also bought a butt from him as well, it did look as expected,

                      Totally agree that it looks awesome!!! Maybe he confused "sirloin" with loin???
