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