Notes:

*Pork referred to here is the typical hog one would find on a farm.  Feral hogs found in Texas and other areas which have the same genetics as domesticated hogs would fit into this category, hence we include pork here.

** Emu and ostrich are raised on farms throughout the USA for their lean red meat.  We include them here as a reminder along with a suggestion that for those who wish to control food preparation that these birds may be purchased on the hoof and processed to your specifications.
