With A title like THAT, how can you NOT like this? Actually, this is a pretty good exploration of what the buyer looks for when buying hogs. Made (I guess) for hog producers the film starts off bubbly with chipper music playing off. I almost thought this was going to be for kids! lol. Luckily we're spared grisly slaughter details but we do get a nice examination of a crosssliced pig, tail still attached! We find out the differences between fat and nonfat pigs. Pretty wild.
