October is National Pork Month

National Pork Month

Pigs are one of oldest forms of livestock. Over the years, humans have acquired a taste for virtually every part of the animal, "everything but the oink," as the saying goes.

See all the recipes that CDK provides which call for ham, ham hocks, spare ribs, pork chops, even pigs' ears (for dogs). Our favorite, with Homer Simpson of course, is bacon!
