Heritage Farm Animals
About Heritage Animals Support Conservation Pictures

Heritage farm animals are breeds that were common on farms prior to the development of more specialized, industrial breeds. They are generally multi-purpose and do well in a sustainable pasture system like ours. We currently have Cotswold sheep, Nigerian Dwarf goats, Dominique chickens and a Milking Devon cow. In 2006 we raised a feeder group of 4 Tamworth hogs. The Christmas ham was, "The best we ever tasted!" according to several families that purchased the meat.

We are intersted in networking with people in our area that are interested in using heritage farm animals for food fiber and thus increasing the animals' numbers and genetic strength. the American Livestock Breed Concervancy conservation priority list and technical assistance has driven our heritage breed selection and marketing efforts.
