"You can't talk about the history of America without talking about the history of cattle." Our "Heritage Cattle in American History" podcast is up and full of insights on the role of cattle in our 250 years on our YouTube channel youtu.be/rmt654A2NAE?si…

Did you know yaks, Ankole-Watusi cattle, and Ancient White Park cattle all established unique American populations in the 1900s? Isolated from their native countries for generations, these globally endangered breeds are now conserved by dedicated U.S. breeders. #HeritageBreeds
Did you know The Livestock Conservancy was founded because of Milking Devon cattle? In the 1970s, historians searching for this once-common breed discovered how rare it had become. That search led to the creation of The Livestock Conservancy in 1977. #HeritageHerdsandFlocks
Looking for a heritage breed? The Heritage Breed Marketplace connects breeders and buyers of rare livestock, poultry, eggs, fiber and more. Explore available listings and help support the conservation of these important breeds. livestockconservancy.org/listings/ #HeritageBreeds
Did you know the word "teamster" dates back to the 1770s? Originally, it referred to people driving teams of oxen, horses, or mules to haul cargo. Today, the name remains, even though the "team" has changed. #HeritageHerdsandFlocks #HeritageCattleinHistory #Celebrate250
Meet the Beltsville Small White Turkey! This heritage breed was developed to provide families with a smaller turkey for the dinner table. Known for their calm temperament and ability to breed naturally, Beltsville Small Whites are a great fit for small farms. #HeritageBreeds
Q: What heritage hog breed can run surprisingly fast and has mule-like hooves? A: The Choctaw hog was built for survival. These small but athletic hogs can move quickly through rough terrain and forage for roots, berries, acorns, and plants with little human care. #ChoctawHog
Until the late 1800s, most cattle provided meat, milk, and labor. New technologies shifted agriculture toward specialized beef and dairy breeds, putting many multipurpose heritage breeds at risk of disappearing. #HeritageHerdsandFlocks #HeritageCattleinHistory #Celebrate250
For centuries, oxen were essential in early America for plowing fields, hauling timber and transporting goods. From 1840 to 1869, about 300,000 pioneers headed west, with about two-thirds relying on strong oxen to pull their “prairie schooners”. #HeritageHerdsandFlocks
Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads, grandpas and father figures helping care for heritage breeds and pass their love of agriculture on to the next generation. Thank you for helping keep these breeds and traditions going. #FathersDay #HeritageBreeds #TheLivestockConservancy
From cattle driven on foot to the great Texas trails, livestock shaped American history. Texas Longhorns traveled from Texas to New York markets, while railroads later transformed cattle transport forever. #HeritageHerdsandFlocks #HeritageCattleinHistory #Celebrate250
Happy Juneteenth from The Livestock Conservancy. Today we recognize and celebrate Juneteenth, a day honoring freedom, history, resilience and community. #Juneteenth #TheLivestockConservancy
American Cream Draft Horses (Critical on the Conservation Priority List) will be showcased at the upcoming Iowa State Fair. Read about it on our blog: Iowa State Fair to Showcase American Cream Draft Horses - The Livestock Conservancy
Meet the American Jacob Sheep! This striking heritage breed is easy to recognize by its piebald black-and-white wool and dramatic multi-horned appearance. Some Jacob sheep can grow as many as six horns. Listed as Threatened on the Conservation Priority List. #JacobSheep
After the Revolutionary War, Shorthorn, Kerry, Guernsey, Dutch Belted, Galloway, Florida Cracker, and Pineywoods cattle helped shape American agriculture. These heritage breeds survive today thanks to dedicated stewards. #Celebrate250 #HeritageBreeds
Devon cattle were brought to Jamestown in 1623 and were essential for settlers’ survival. By the late 1600s, selective breeding led to the development of a multi-purpose, line-backed patterned cattle breed, now known as the Randall Lineback. #HeritageCattleinHistory
Meet the Saddleback Pomeranian Goose! Known for their rounded bodies and stout necks. These heritage geese are social and chatty, often loudly greeting visitors and making excellent watch birds. Listed as Critical on the Conservation Priority List, they still need support.
Domestication of cattle began about 10,500 yrs ago, in the Mediterranean & separately about 9000 yrs ago in Asia, producing humped cattle or zebu. Selective breeding for calm obedient cattle to provide milk, meat, hides & draft labor led nomadic cultures to become more settled.
Show us your best heritage breed photo! Drop a picture in the comments and tell us which breed it is. We’d love to see the heritage breeds you raise, work with and care about. #HeritageBreeds #TheLivestockConservancy
