This has been effected by Her- mann von Nathusius in two admirable works, especially in the later one on the Skulls of the several races, and by Riitimeyer in his celebrated Fauna of the ancient Swiss lake-dwellings.’ h’athusius has shown that all the known breeds may be divided into two great groups: one resembling in all im- portant respects and no doubt descended from the common wild boar ; so that this may be called the Su8 scrofa group. The other group differs in several important and constant osteological characters ; its wild parent-form is unknown ; the name given to it by Nathusius, according to the law of priority, is Su8 indicus, of Pallas.

  • Ireland's Rare Breeds
    IRELAND’S RARE BREEDS A CASE STUDY Ireland’s Rare Breeds What are Rare Breeds? Rare breeds are a breed of livestock or poultry that have a very small breeding population left. Due to their small population numbers, the conservation status of the rare breed can be identified as high. Organisations have been/ are set up devoted to the conservation of these rare breeds, protecting and promoting the breed to help save it from extinction. Some indigenous, native or rare breeds associated to old Ireland are: Equines (Horses), such as the Connemara Pony, the Kerry Bog Pony and the Irish Draught; Bovines (Cattle), such as the Irish Moiled cattle, Kerry Cattle and Dexters; Ovines (Sheep), such as the Galway Sheep. How do these breeds become rare? After the war Ireland’s farmers sought to become more efficient in their farming practices. New breeds were introduced at the expense of Irish indigenous (native) stock. Farmers became aware that with the introduction of more profitable/ efficient breeds – e.g. the Holstein-Friesian – that native breeds such as the Irish Moiled became undisputedly viewed as a highly unprofitable breed in comparison to the high milk yield of the Holstein-Friesian. The introduction of ‘selective breeding’ during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries improved the genetic characteristics of animals, such as their weight, milk yield, leanness and speed of maturity in order to improve profit. As a result of this, many Irish breeds became extinct and only a few native breeds remain today. Animal breeds that were native to old Ireland and have become extinct are: Ulster Large White Pig unsuitable for live transport.

  • An Archaeological View of Pigs in Scotland, from Their Earliest Domestication to the Agricultural Revolution Catherine Smith*
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 130 (2000), 705–724 A grumphie in the sty: an archaeological view of pigs in Scotland, from their earliest domestication to the agricultural revolution Catherine Smith* A dainty cowie in the byre For butter and for cheeses A grumphie feedin’ in the sty Wad keep the hoose in greases ‘Johnny Sangster’ (Bothy Ballad) ABSTRACT This paper considers the role and status of the domestic pig in Scotland, with particular reference to the period between the 12th and 18th centuries, and provides archaeological evidence to show that, although the species was never as important to the economy of Scotland as cattle and sheep, it nevertheless provided an important addition to the diet, both in the burghs and in the countryside. The history of the so-called pig ‘taboo’ of the north and north-east of Scotland is also considered. The majority of the excavations reviewed here were funded either wholly or in part by Historic Scotland; research for this paper was also funded by Historic Scotland. INTRODUCTION Much has been written regarding the origin of the domestic pig, but it is now widely accepted that all are descended from the wild species, Sus scrofa, of which there are about 25 subspecies (Clutton-Brock 1987, 21), and were first domesticated in Eastern Europe and Western Asia by about 7000 (ibid, 72). Before the advent of true settled agriculture, pigs were being deliberately bred on the Danish coastal fringes from between 5000–4750 (Ashmore 1996, 24). When the early farming culture of the Neolithic spread throughout Western Europe, with it came domesticated cattle (the descendant of the aurochs) and pigs.
