With the informed consumer expressing concerns about the issues with factory farming and willing to pay a premium to get a healthy, quality alternative-- range-produced pork is more and more the right answer. This comprehensive book on raising hogs the natural way includes sections on housing, fencing, selection, breeding, herd maintenance, feeds, marketing and more."--
