____________________________________

Why are heritage breeds endangered? 🤔

The Livestock Conservancy states that with modern agriculture favoring a few specialized breeds, traditional breeds have fallen out of favor. Small family farms where these breeds once thrived are disappearing at an alarming rate - and with them historic breeds are disappearing as well. 

Here is a list of species and breeds on their Conservation Priority list - https://livestockconservancy.org/heritage-breeds/conservation-priority-list/
