Red meat--it's as American as apple pie. In a world where most
hunger is alleviated with an occasional handful of grain, 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. Undulating with the waves made by entrepreneurs and
monopolies, shortages and gluts, scandal and government
regulations, the industry mirrors the nation's turbulent economic
history.
Author Jimmy M. 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.
Scholars and persons interested in livestock raising, agriculture,
and America's marketplace will find "Prime Cut" to be an
unflinching account of one of our nation's most volatile, most
quintessentially American industries. With the extensive
bibliography accompanying this work, the only modern comprehensive
study of American livestock raising and meatpacking, readers will
have access to countless details of the meat industry.
