This antique volume contains a comprehensive catalogue of various large white pigs, published by the National Pig Breeders' Association in 1953. Contained within this book are the association's standards of excellence; lists of members, judges and past presidents; and an almost encyclopedic number of entries, each complete with information pertaining to date, location, and breed. This book will be of much value to those with an interest in the association, and is one not to be missed by collectors of antique literature of this ilk. The chapters of this book include: President, Members of Council, and Secretary; Committees; Preface, List of Past President; Extracts from Bye-Laws Relating to the Herd Book; Standard of Excellence; List of Judges; Entries or Boars; Entries of Sows; and Errata. This book was first published in 1953, and is proudly republished now, complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on pig farming.
