Not sure how interested in it you are , but a great book about meat is The river cottage meat book. This book is really good, goes from cows, pigs, chickens, duck , geese , wild game and everything in between. He explains where all the cuts come from, how long to hang, dry aging vs wet aging and butchering etc. He talks a lot about what to look for and why in free range and oraganic raised animals and what these defintions really mean compared to meats from animals raised intensivly. Then he breaks down cooking them from roasting, braising, etc. . Really cant say enough good things about this book and it was only $20 something.
