"Breeds of domesticated animal are man-made - evolved to suit man's need. Let their purpose become obsolete or the breed be superseded by something more efficient, and the incentive to preserve the breed is lost. But in the search for more efficient production, earlier maturity, etc., lies a constant risk of loss of hardihood, disease resistance, and other intangible qualities. Safety lies in the genetic reservoirs of primitive types - rare breeds". Book about Rare Breeds. (Permaculture, Breeding, Cattle, Domestic Animals, Farming, Permaculture, Pigs, Sheep).
