Years ago we had a different style hog. A lard hog. They were all VERY fat. Fat we hard working farming people needed for energy and overallhealth. About 100 years ago, the demand was for leaner hogs, and the result is todays leaner profile. Think Potbelly pig for an idea of the old style lard hogs.

Our food is our medicine. And right now the commericial food is usually what is killing us. Eating animals produced as they were meant to be is much healthier for both them and us.

Cattle are too big for me to handle; I stick to sheep.
