  • 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.

McEwan Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences, Penglais Campus, Aberystwyth University, Aberystwyth, United Kingdom ABSTRACT: This study investigated the genetic relationship between 6 populations of Welsh Mountain sheep: 5 phenotypic breed-types within the Welsh Mountain (WM) sheep breed, which have each been bred in spe- cific geographic areas of Wales, and the Black Welsh Mountain sheep breed. Based on DNA analysis using 8 microsatellite markers, observed heterozygosity levels were similar to those expected in livestock populations subjected to selective breeding (0.530–0.664), and all but one population showed evidence of inbreeding.

  • 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.

  • Tracing the Problems Faced by British Rare Breed Producers
    Tracing the problems faced by British rare breed producers What’s the real issue behind the Horsemeat scandal? The ‘Horsemeat Scandal’ revealed a fundamental breakdown in the meat supply chain and a complete disconnection between us, the public, and the food that we eat. 100% traceability is a crucial requirement for protecting our edible biodiversity, an issue particularly relevant to the sheep and cattle industries. Traditional rare breed producers up and down the country are fighting an uphill battle to keep these products on our plates. With the current system favouring larger, fast maturing, commercial breeds, it is up to us to offer the much needed support to these farmers. The ‘Horsemeat Scandal’ showed the scale of the task many of our rare breed producers are facing. However the sensational stories which shocked the nation largely excluded the plight of the small scale producer. It is easy to get hung up about the labelling of horse meat as beef but isn’t it equally scandalous that wonderful British breeds - such as Blue Grey cattle, Old Gloucester cattle and Herdwick Sheep, with all their unique qualities - are being lost in a mountain of nameless meat! At a time when meat consumption is at its highest ever levels, we have a responsibility to be responsible consumers. There has to be a very real and drastic change in the way we think about and buy meat. What can you as the consumer do? At a very basic level, we need to show that there is a demand to know what we’re eating.

    Cotswold Sheep Society Newsletter Registered Charity No. 1013326 ` Autumn 2011 Hampton Rise, 1 High Street, Meysey Hampton, Gloucestershire, GL7 5JW [email protected] www.cotswoldsheepsociety.co.uk Council Officers Chairman – Mr. Richard Mumford Vice-Chairman – Mr. Thomas Jackson Secretary - Mrs. Lucinda Foster Treasurer- Mrs. Lynne Parkes Council Members Mrs. M. Pursch, Mrs. C. Cunningham, The Hon. Mrs. A. Reid, Mr. R Leach, Mr. D. Cross. Mr. S. Parkes, Ms. D. Stanhope Editors –John Flanders, The Hon. 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.

  • 2012 June Newsletter
    Cotswold Sheep Society Newsletter Registered Charity No. 1013326 June 2012 Hampton Rise, 1 High Street, Meysey Hampton, Gloucestershire, GL7 5JW Tel.: 01285 851197 [email protected] www.cotswoldsheepsociety.co.uk Council Officers Chairman – Mr. Richard Mumford Vice-Chairman – Mr. Thomas Jackson Secretary - Mrs. Lucinda Foster Treasurer- Mrs. Lynne Parkes Council Members Mrs. M. Pursch, Mrs. C. Cunningham, The Hon. Mrs. A. Reid, Mr. R Leach, Mr. D. Cross, Mr. S. Parkes, Ms. D. Stanhope Editors John Flanders, The Hon. Mrs. Angela Reid Spring at Cwmcrwth Farm (Towy Flock) EDITORIAL John Flanders This edition of the Newsletter contains a number of reminders of events that Council have organised and members are encouraged to support them. Council, in preparing a programme for the year, endeavours to provide subjects that meet the interests of all members, but if there is no support the question has to be asked whether there is any point in having these events. On a lighter note, I am delighted that Rob and Fiona Park have written about their flock of Cotswolds; it is always good to have a few more breeders in Wales. They also produce bacon and pork from the Oxford Sandy and Black rare breed pigs and I can vouch how tasty it is (mail order is available I understand). Sadly, despite my request in the last Newsletter, no one else has come forward to join Judy and me in The View From Here; similarly having tried to have a Young Handlers Section no contributions have been forthcoming. This year Davina Stanhope, Richard Mumford and Robin Leach are standing down from Council and I am grateful for the work that they have all put in on behalf of the Society.
