At its heart is a question as old as farming itself: what does it really take to preserve the rare and traditional breeds that shaped our agricultural heritage?

While the primary focus is on American livestock, the book also highlights breeds from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe -- covering horses, donkeys, cattle, sheep, oxen, chickens, turkeys, geese, waterfowl, pigs, goats, and hares.

Essential reading for conservation enthusiasts and students, agriculturalists, and anyone drawn to the human stories behind species-based conservation.
