Excerpt from The American Breeders Magazine, Vol. 2: A Journal of Genetics and Eugenics
The introduction into America of the various breeds of pedi greed live stock would make an interesting chapter both of the history and the philosophy relating to breeding.
Most of these breeds have come from Great Britain and the Brit ish Isles, and almost entirely through private initiative. What public aid was extended consisted in permitting the entry of breed ing stock free of duty. In many cases the introduction of a new breed has been made in the face of opposition. The American breeders have rather depended upon the Old World to originate different breeds of live stock, and with a comparatively few exceptions have not originated breeds in either the United States or Canada.
