Publisher Notes:

Did you know that wild razorback hogs probably were imported into the United States
from Russia during the 19th century? Pigs in general are good foragers and most breeds
are able to live off the land.
Seven breeds of pigs are common in the United States, and no breed is inherently better
than any other. The seven most popular breeds are the Yorkshire, Chester White,
Berkshire, Duroc, Hampshire, Poland China, and American Landrace, all discussed in
this little book.
This little book introduces adults and children alike to popular breeds of pig. Each
breed gets a spread featuring a color photograph and a full discussion of identifying
characteristics, plus a write-up about the breed’ s history, personality, foraging and
mothering habits, and suitability for the small farm.
