Simply put it is a method utilized to measure an animal against the Breed Standard. This method can be applied to various types of livestock as long as there is a Standard to measure against. The purpose of measuring livestock is to assess their potential as breeding stock. Card Grading, applied to a group of animals, such as a farmer’s entire herd, exposes the strengths and weaknesses of the herd and enables the farmer to put a breeding plan together that improves the herd. One of the major differences between Card Grading and Competitive Showing is that in Card Grading all of the animals get graded, while generally, in showing, only the top placed animals get ribbons.

George Garrard's Livestock Models by JULIET OLUTTON-BR.OCK
! ...... !i George Garrard's Livestock Models By JULIET OLUTTON-BR.OCK A series of plaster models of domestic pigs, cattle, and sheep that were made by George Garrard between about 179o and 181o has been held in the British Museum (Natural History) since the !! beginning of this century. In view oftheincreasing concern for the conservation ofrare breeds of livestock it is perhaps an opportune time to publish a description of these models, for they por- tray the favoured breeds at a crucial period in the history oflivestock improvement. Many o~'the breeds which were the most commercially successful in 18oo (when oxen were still used for il ploughing, and the production of tallow was a major industry) are at tile present day either extinct or changed out of all recognition, although a few of the old breeds that have survived unchanged are now playing a new economic role in "farm parks" where they are exhibited as relics of a past agricultural age. EORGE GAP,.RARD (176o-1826) was a painter who turned his atten- t-ion to the making of casts and models of many subjects, but mainly of domestic animals. In this project he was sponsored by the fifth Duke of Bedford, who was the first president of the Smithfield Club (founded hi I798), and by the third Earl of Egremont, as well as by other members of the Board of Agri- culture. Garrard called his house in Hanover Square, London, "The Agricultural Museum," and from there he sold his models. In 1798 Garrard published a statement in the Annals of Agriculture to advertise his models; parts of this statement are quoted as follows: Mr Garrard is now preparing the models from the best specimens that can be procured, under the inspection of those noblemen (the Duke of Bedford and the Earl of Egremont); and he proposes to publish a set of models, to consist of a bull, a cow, and an ox, of the Devonshire, Herefordshire, and Holdemesse cattle, upon a scale front nature, of two inches and a quarter to a foot.

Genetics and Livestock Breeding in the UK: Co-Constructing Technologies and Heterogeneous Biosocial Collectivities
Genetics and livestock breeding in the UK: co-constructing technologies and heterogeneous biosocial collectivities (authors’ final version, published as: Morris C and Holloway L (2014) Genetics and livestock breeding in the UK: co-constructing technologies and heterogeneous biosocial collectivities. Journal of Rural Studies 33 pp150-160 (doi 10.1016/j.jrurstud.2012.10.003)) Morris C and Holloway L Contact: Lewis Holloway, Department of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences, University of Hull, Cottingham Road, Hull, HU6 7RX. UK. [email protected] Abstract Cattle and sheep breeders in the UK and elsewhere are increasingly being encouraged to use a variety of genetic technologies to help them make breeding decisions. The technology of particular interest here is ‘classical’ statistical genetics, which use a series of measurements taken from animals’ bodies to provide an estimate of their ‘genetic merit’ known as Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs). Drawing on empirical research with the representatives of national cattle breed societies and individual cattle breeders the paper explores the complex ways in which they are engaging with genetic breeding technologies. The concept of ‘heterogeneous biosocial collectivity’ is mobilised to inform an understanding of processes of co-construction of breeding technologies, livestock animals and humans. The paper presents case studies of livestock breeding collectivities at different scales, arguing that the ways in which the ‘life’ of livestock animals is problematised is specific to different scales, and varies too between different collectivities at the same scale. This conceptualisation problematises earlier models of innovation-adoption that view farmers as either ‘adopters’ or ‘non-adopters’ of technologies and in which individual attitudes alone are seen as determining the decision to adopt or not adopt.

Farm Animal Welfare and Sustainability
Farm Animal Welfare and Sustainability Alison Hodge Submitted by Alison Hodge to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in December 2010 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. …………………………………………………………. 1 2 Abstract This thesis is concerned with acknowledging farm animals and their co-presence in the more-than-human space of the livestock farm, and with accounting for them responsibly in sustainability debates. The enrolment of farm animals as actors in political agendas for environmental sustainability, and farm animal welfare suggests that there are new ways of seeing and being with farm animals that permit their relational presence and recognise their subjectivity. Indeed geographers have in recent years acknowledged animals and their relations with humans, and they have begun to recognise the nature of animal subjectivies. However, within the fundamental rethinking of animals that has been provoked by these discussions, I suggest that farm animals have remained relatively invisible. Occupying ethically confusing terrain, farm animals have nonetheless been visible in a set of philosophical positions regarding their moral status, yet these debates present a rather confusing picture in which the farm animal as an individual is conspicuous by its absence. In seeking to redress the invisibility of farm animals within these debates, and recast them in relation to humans and the broader farm ecology, this thesis attempts to set out an epistemological and methodological framework through which farm animals might become visible as individual fleshy beings.

Upland Pony Grazing a Review
UPLAND PONY GRAZING: A REVIEW UPLAND PONY GRAZING: A REVIEW Footprint Contract Reference: 279 Date: 25 January 2016 Version: FINAL Recommended: Lake, S. (2016) Upland Pony grazing: a review. Footprint Ecology/Dartmoor’s Pony Action Group. 2 UPLAND PONY GRAZING: A REVIEW Summary There is concern over the decline in numbers of ponies on Dartmoor’s moorland and the resulting implications for the Moor’s ecology. This concern led Dartmoor’s Pony Action Group to commission a review of the literature relevant to the role of pony grazing on moorland habitats in order to provide evidence on the effects of pony grazing on the management of upland vegetation, and to inform the debate on the role of ponies within agri-environment schemes. Of particular interest was any information regarding potential differences between pony grazing and that by other livestock types present on Dartmoor. This report documents the results of that review, which may also be relevant to other uplands areas in the UK. There is little literature available concerning the role of pony grazing in the uplands; most research has been focussed on the impacts of cattle and sheep. There is, however, a body of work from the lowlands, notably the New Forest and the Dorset Heaths, and also one significant project from Dartmoor itself. Thirty-nine relevant papers, books and unpublished reports were reviewed, although many of these relate only tangentially to pony grazing on Dartmoor. The literature reviewed suggests that, like cattle and sheep, ponies strongly prefer grassy habitats within moorland mosaics; however: Ponies are likely to have more of an impact in wet heath, valley mire, gorse brake and Bracken-dominated communities than cattle and sheep.

Devon Farming in the 19Th Century
Devon Farming in the 19th century Paul Brassley, University of Exeter Sources In contrast to some other counties – Lincolnshire and the East Anglian counties in particular – agricultural historians have given little attention to Devon, especially in the nineteenth century. W.G.Hoskins, in his history of the county, devoted less than three pages to 19th-century agriculture, half of which discussed the condition of agricultural labourers (Hoskins, 1972: 98-101). Over many years Robin Stanes, who as a young man spent several years farming in the South Hams, taught and wrote about Devon’s agricultural history, and his book The Old Farm (subsequently republished in an extensively illustrated edition) contains much on the nineteenth century agriculture, but it does not set out to explore the reasons for change over the century, or to distinguish between nineteenth-century and earlier or later methods. Neither is it referenced (Stanes, 1990: Stanes, 2005). Helen Harris, who also had an agricultural background, has a chapter on ‘Agriculture and Kindred Pursuits’ in her book on Dartmoor’s industrial archaeology, but her purpose is to explain the origins of what can be seen on the moor rather than to write its history, and obviously Elisabeth Stanbrook’s excellent account of the development of the farms in the middle of the moor, much of it concerned with the nineteenth century, does not extend to the county as a whole (Harris, 1972; Stanbrook, 1994). Neither does Orwin and Sellick’s classic work on the reclamation of Exmoor (Orwin and Sellick, 1970). Fortunately, however, Sarah Wilmot built on her PhD thesis to produce further investigations of south-west farming in the nineteenth century, and it is upon her work that the following paper is largely based (Wilmot, 1988; Wilmot, 1999; Wilmot, 2000).
