Heritage cattle are traditional breeds that have been raised for generations, often valued for their unique traits and adaptability to local environments. These breeds are typically well-suited for sustainable farming practices and contribute to biodiversity in agriculture. Examples include Hereford, Angus, and Jersey cattle, each known for specific qualities such as meat quality or milk production. Many heritage cattle breeds are at risk of extinction due to the rise of industrial farming practices that favor a few high-yield breeds. Conservation efforts aim to preserve these breeds, recognizing their importance in maintaining genetic diversity and cultural heritage in livestock farming.
