An Introduction to Heritage Breeds

By J. Beranger, P. Sponenberg, and A. Martin - 240 Pages

This is a brand new book that shows how to get started in selecting and raising a heritage breed. Farmers around the world have developed hundreds of breeds of livestock and poultry to thrive in particular places and situations. Unfortunately in the past fifty years, the livestock industry has become dominated by just a few breeds. Many traditional breeds have disappeared; others are close to extinction. This book shows you how to find, raise and profit from these rare and unique breeds of poultry and livestock.
