Neighbor two houses down raised pigs one summer. Absolutely delicious...although their daughter was a little upset at first when she found out where the pork chops came from - she came around when the bacon was served. :D
The summer between my sophomore and junior year in high school, I worked on a hog farm. I slowed down on my consumption of bacon with my morning eggs. It didn’t take me long to recover, though. I certainly learned a lot about animal care that summer.
