Raising Pigs

This is a helpful basic book to start you, in a hog test. It does the usual Storey job of presenting the introductory info required for anyone to start. It makes you need to get out there and get pigs!

This is a great audiobook!

This is a great audiobook! The author keeps your attention while telling all about pigs. I have been threatening for a book with good knowledge. Thank you for the knowledge on the pig's first aid kit!

Decent content, tough to listen to.

The information was alright, but nothing overwhelming helpful. I had a really hard time listening to the reader. The intonations and stress patterns of the voice were annoying and it made it difficult to focus on the content.

Great companion book

If you own the original Backyard Homestead this audiobook is great for going into deeper aspects about animal care (if you don’t own it you need to get it!!). Hope it had a part about pigs but there are lots of books already out there about them. Happy with this purchase!

Pigs Will Be Pigs

I got "Raising Pigs: The Ultimate Guide" to be quite educational and an interesting read. There was some dull information thru the various chapters but useful in keeping me, the reader from losing connection and relevant facts from fading. I would surely suggest this book for the new fan interested in raising pigs either for their own freezer or for market.

Resourceful

It has given us lots to consider and if we do take the leap, we will owe a lot to this book. The knowledge is well laid out and the information is presented in an easy-to-digest manner. Overall, a reliable book for caring for pigs.
