Some 350 animals gather at the show known for its friendly atmosphere and set in our beautiful 40-acre site at the heart of the South Downs National Park. Smallholders and farmers play a vital role in nurturing rare and traditional breeds of livestock, and we are delighted to offer this opportunity for them to showcase their cattle, sheep, pigs and goats to our visitors. The Museum is a charity that works to preserve our rural heritage and rare breeds are an important part of that. Farm livestock were introduced here to help interpret our collection for our visitors, and the Rare & Traditional Breeds Show was a natural development – the show was launched in 1983 – this is the 35th event! For the fi rst time two rare breeds of horses will be represented, Suffolk Punches and Cleveland Bays, among the rarest of the native equines on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust’s (RBST) Watchlist, alongside the Museum’s own Shire horse & Percherons. The show also includes fl eece and hand spun classes, non-competitive livestock such as rabbits and poultry, and many other attractions including delicious local The Museum is produce, country crafts and demonstrations. extremely grateful to We are very grateful to our special Rare Breeds Show all those who gave up committee for their help and knowledge and giving up their time to join our their time to make the show a success, and especially special committee delighted to welcome RBST Chairman, Gail Sprake, to for this year’s Rare present the championship prizes and trophies. & Traditional Breeds We hope you all have a very enjoyable day!

    The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain

    The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain </. C. Greig and A. B. Cooper Primitive breeds of sheep and goats, such as the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, could be in danger of disappearing with the present rapid decline in pastoral farming. The authors, both members of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources in Edinburgh University, point out that, quite apart from their historical and cultural interest, these breeds have an important part to play in modern livestock breeding, which needs a constant infusion of new genes from unimproved breeds to get the benefits of hybrid vigour. Moreover these primitive breeds are able to use the poor land and live in the harsh environment which no modern hybrid sheep can stand. Recent work on primitive breeds of sheep and goats in Scotland has drawn attention not only to the necessity for conserving them, but also to the fact that there is no organisation taking a direct scientific in- terest in them. Primitive livestock strains are the jetsam of the Agricul- tural Revolution, and they tend to survive in Europe's peripheral regions. The sheep breeds are the best examples, such as the sheep of Ushant, off the Brittany coast, the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, the Shetland sheep, the Soay sheep of St Kilda, and the Manx Loaghtan breed. Presumably all have survived because of their isolation in these remote and usually infertile areas. A 'primitive breed' is a livestock breed which has remained relatively unchanged through the last 200 years of modern animal-breeding techniques. The word 'primitive' is perhaps unfortunate, since it implies qualities which are obsolete or undeveloped.

  • Reading Between the Lines Dane Outreach Has Become Extremely

    Reading Between the Lines Dane Outreach Has Become Extremely

    Reading Between The Lines (Or, separating fact from fiction) Dane Outreach has become extremely concerned about the large volume of incorrect information unknowledgeable, unethical, or uncaring and unscrupulous breeders* are giving to the potential Dane purchaser about Great Danes. Much of this misinformation is used as a “selling point” by puppy mills and backyard breeders to the uninformed Dane purchaser. The first line of defense for the potential purchaser would be to do their homework and educate themselves on the Great Dane breed. There are many excellent articles at www.gdca, www.DaneOutreach.com and www.ginnie.com on Great Danes. Below are some of the claims commonly used by unethical breeders and correct information for item. Rare or Unusual Colors No such thing! While some of the Great Dane colors may be more common than others, the breed does not have “rare” or “unusual” colors. Dogs labeled “rare” are almost always mismarks, considered a disqualification by the breed standard, cannot be shown, and in general should not be bred. Great Danes come in six recognized colors (fawn, brindle, black, blue, harlequin and mantle) and are divided into five color families (1. fawn/brindle, 2. black out of black breeding, 3. black out of blue breeding, 4. black out of harlequin breeding, 5. harlequin). The Great Dane Club of America is very specific on what color families can and cannot be bred together. Crossing color families can result in “off” or mismarked colors. While these dogs can certainly go on to make excellent pets, the colors are not desired, cannot be shown, never should be bred and should not be considered a desirable trait.
  • Türkiye Ve Avrupa Birliğinde Küçükbaş Hayvan Yetiştiriciliğinde Örgütlenme

    Türkiye Ve Avrupa Birliğinde Küçükbaş Hayvan Yetiştiriciliğinde Örgütlenme

    U. Ü. ZİRAAT FAKÜLTESİ DERGİSİ, 2009, Cilt 23, Sayı 2, 79-95 (Journal of Agricultural Faculty of Uludag University) Türkiye ve Avrupa Birliğinde Küçükbaş Hayvan Yetiştiriciliğinde Örgütlenme Oktay Gürsoy1 1Çukurova Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Zootekni Bölümü, Adana e-mail: [email protected] Özet: Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinde küçükbaş hayvancılık sektöründe örgütlenme gerek yüksek damızlık değere sahip hayvanların eldesi amacıyla damızlık yetiştiriciler birliği, gerekse girdilerini ucuza temin etmek, ürünlerini hakça fiyatlara değerlendirmek, sivil toplum örgütü olarak baskı potansiyeline sahip olmak amaçlı yetiştiriciler birliği veya kooperatifi şeklindedir. Bu örgütlerin geçmişi Büyük Britanya İmparatorluğunda 18. yüzyıl başına dayanmakta olup, günümüzde benzer yapılanma Avrupa Birliği, Amerika, Kanada, Avustralya ve Yeni Zelanda’da çok yaygındır. Ülkemizde tarımsal örgütlenmenin geçmişi çok yakındır ve bunun içinde de örgütlenmenin en düşük olduğu sektörler koyun ve keçi yetiştiriciliğidir. Örgütlenmenin yararları hakkında bilgi sahibi olmayan ve son derece geleneksel bir üretim yapısına sahip olan bu sektörlerin sürdürülebilirliği beklenemez ve bu kaçınılmaz süreç 1980 yıllarından beri çok hızlı bir biçimde işleyerek koyun ve keçi varlıklarında sırası ile % 45 ve % 65 lik düşüşlere neden olmuştur. Koyun ve keçi yetiştiriciliğinin desteklenmesi, Avrupa Birliği ülkelerine (EU/CAP, No:2529/2001; CAP REFORMU 2003) göre çok düşük düzeylerde, ülkemizde süt sığırcılığına göre son derece önemsiz destekleri içermektedir. Avrupa Birliği’nin 1962 yılında başlattığı CAP (Ortak Tarım Politikaları) desteğinin hareket noktası, koyun ve keçi yetiştiricilerinin, tarımın diğer kesimlerine göre çok düşük düzeylerde yıllık gelirlere sahip olmaları ve bu sektörlerin kayıplarını karşılayarak bulundukları yörelerde tutmaktır. Bu uygulama, yetiştiricilerin kırsaldan kente göçünü ve onun beraberinde getirdiği sosyo-ekonomik sorunları baştan durdurmak ve küçükbaş hayvancılığın çok özel ve kıymetli ürünlerinin üretimini sürdürülebilir kılmaktır.

Mrs. Angela Reid Pat Quinn and Joe Henson discussing the finer points of……….? EDITORIAL It seems not very long ago when I penned the last editorial, but as they say time marches on and we are already into Autumn, certainly down here in Wales the trees have shed many of their leaves, in fact some began in early September. In this edition I am delighted that Joe Henson has agreed to update his 1998 article on the Bemborough Flock and in particular his work with the establishment to the RBST. It really is fascinating reading and although I have been a member of the Society since 1996 I have learnt a huge amount particularly as one of my rams comes from the RASE flock and Joe‟s article fills in a number of gaps in my knowledge. As you will see in the AGM Report, Pat Quinn has stepped down as President and Robert Boodle has taken over that position with Judy Wilkie becoming Vice President. On a personal basis, I would like to thank Pat Quinn for her willing help in supplying articles for the Newsletter and the appointment of Judy Wilkie is a fitting tribute to someone who has worked tirelessly over many years for the Society – thank you and well done to you both.

Two girls holding Leicester Longwool lambs We love and care for animals. They are useful partners and good companions. 5. Milking Devon cow standing beside woods Farm animals are important in two ways. First, they provide food for people to eat. Cows, for example, produce milk. 6. Hen on nest with eggs Chickens lay eggs. 7. Eggs from chicken, duck, goose, and turkey in an egg carton Ducks, geese, and turkeys lay eggs too. All of these eggs are good to eat. 8. New Hampshire rooster looking for food in the grass Farm animals are also important because of the jobs they can do. Chickens, for example, eat weeds, insects, and other pests. 9. Two Guinea Hogs in a pasture, with small turkeys in the background Pigs are recyclers, eating many different foods – such as acorns, insects, roots, mice, kitchen scraps, fruit, and sour milk. Pigs eat small snakes too. Not so long ago, people would have a pig in the yard to keep snakes away! 10. Pigs in garden space A pig’s nose is called a snout. Pigs use their snouts for digging up roots or “rooting.” These pigs have been put into a garden after harvest to dig up roots, eat insects, and turn the soil for spring planting.
