Whether you want a pig on your property for pleasure or  profit, on a small scale or large, this is the book you should have.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From first considerations to last, choosing a breed to bringing home the  bacon, this approachable, authoritative guide covers every facet of  raising pigs. Whats the story behind the modern pork industry? What are  the advantages of raising pigs on a small scale, and what does it take  in the way of resources and accommodations?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After delving into these questions, author Philip Hasheider goes into  the details of housing, feeding, and caring for pigs, as well as  breeding, showing, and marketing them--as a project, a hobby, or a  business, or just to have one of these unique porcine characters around  the farmyard.
