Bacon or pork, the pig pays if you breed and feed it right. Sanders Spencer surveys the swine from non-pedigree stock to the pure breeds: the Hampshire, the spotted pigs, the Large White and the black varieties, with sound advice on rearing and marketing. A trusted stockman's guide to profitable pigs. Raise the herd, then sell it well.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
