| Denizens of pork country often say that the odor of pig excrement is the smell of money. Initially complaining that "of all the major livestock species, none is more misunderstood . . . than the hog," A highlight of the book is the do-it-yourself aspect, included to illustrate home butchering technique but also part of what makes this a handy resource for those considering pork production. A great starter book for the new or hobby farmer and an entertaining one for the mildly curious. Copyright© 1998, American Library Association. All rights reserved |
