an excellent resource
There is a lot of information in this guide. Klober doesn't assume anything and starts with the very basics, but even experienced hog farmers will find useful information on maintaining and improving their own herd. It is written more as a textbook and with the way it is organized you can easily go to the chapter that you need for the information you want. Within chapters, he often repeats important information that was mentioned in an earlier chapter, but still applies to the topic of the current chapter. That way if you do delve into the middle of the book, say the chapter on selecting breeding stock there will be some information already covered in setting up to raise hogs.A free egalley was provided for an honest review.
