The Heritage Breeds podcast is brought to you by The Livestock Conservancy. 
Now, you may be scratching your head and thinking, “but I see cows and

The Livestock Conservancy works to protect. In this podcast series you’ll 
meet the animals, breeders, and people working to save them from extinction.
