Nah, if you're talking great northern, that with the pork is perfect. You probably want to salt to taste after, but let them simmer as is.
Now for me, I reduce ham hocks by half, then make up the other half [precook weight, or a little less] with bacon crisped up beforehand. crumble it up and toss it in.
