A new book, Rare heritage breeds of livestock in New Zealand, may be of interest.
The book is about breeds of livestock - sheep, cows, goats, donkeys, horses, pigs, rabbits and poultry - were brought to this South Pacific country, or have developed here before 1950 and have been here continuously since then, but as the numbers are so low to be considered rare if not endangered. If they are allowed to die, our options for future needs of livestock fell sharply. The call for conservation of rare breeds is even more important these days when the threat of climate change leaves us with an uncertain future.
The publication is hardcover illustrated in color throughout. All royalties from the sale goes to the Conservation Society of New Zealand Rare Breeds.
