Pork quality depends on feeding and cleanliness, not pen confinement
The author argues that clean feeding on a dry board yields better pork than hogs kept in pens with manure. He cites Jersey and Buck County hog lots, praising sweet, solid meat from board-fed hogs and criticizing pen smell and poor flavor. Also describes a home mix for weatherproofing using sand lime and wood glue.
