Please may I pick your brains?

I have bought a bacon hock from the farm shop. I have cured my own in the past, but I have noticed today as I went to defrost it, that it specifically says 'bacon hock'.

Do you think this means that it has already been cured, or do I cure it?

If it says it's a bacon hock, as opposed to a pork hock, then I would say yes it's cured.
