Description

Jimmy M. Skaggs. Red meat’s daily appearance on most American tables is a vivid symbol of national prosperity. The red-meat industry is also a powerful symbol which mirrors the nation’s turbulent economic history. Skaggs traces the development of the red-meat industry from forest-foraging razorbacks in colonial days to genetic engineering of tender, disease, resistant beef cattle. “An unflinching account of one of our nation’s most volatile, most quintessentially American industries.” The only modern comprehensive study of Americal livestock raising & meatpacking. Extensive bibliography. Photos.
