[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 270317, member: 391"] The American Rare Breeds Conservancy is a great program-- One that "hobby" farmers should make more use of. These breeds are no longer commercially viable- but we don't need to loose them. You can get your enjoyment of owning livestock satisfied- while at the same time fill a real need in agriculture. And those breeds don't need to be raised in large numbers - just lots of small breeding opperations dedicated to preserving their natural qualities and not trying to make them competitive in the commercial market. I think the time has come- to be able to make money off them too(to get your tax break)-- alot of people want naturally raised meat and would prefer buying a "homey" breed that they are helping to preserve. It makes more sense to be a big guy in a small pond and really work at accomplishing something worthwhile- Producing a few more commercial calves(or whatever) doesn't really accomplish that much in the scheme of things- and small opperations barely break even trying to .
