The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, have a system for rating the rarity of a breed. On our farm, we emphasize breeds on their list—the most endangered category where the entire global breeding population usually numbers in the hundreds and, sometimes, numbers no more than a few dozen animals come first.

 We strive to breed to the APA and ABA Standard of Perfections.

 We house the animals in large, well built pens that also allow them to free range. We also supplement their foraging diets with high-quality grains. We virtually never administer medicine, including antibiotics.  To reduce the potential for our livestock being exposed to disease, visitors are not allowed. We disinfect shoes and hands before entering the farm.

 Only the best offspring are kept for breeding  stock . We rigorously cull inferior animals. “Cull,” like “harvest,” is in our case used for egg production to sale for eating. Our poultry live a long comfortable life here on the farm.
