Each pictures a photograph of one of 10 heritage breeds: mulefoot hog, Wyandotte chicken, milking Devon cow, Narragansett turkey, American mammoth jackstock donkey, cotton patch goose, San Clemente Island goat, American cream draft horse, Cayuga duck, and Barbados blackbelly sheep. Photographs are by Aliza Elizarov.

Most of these heritage breeds have few animals of the original breeding stock left today. However, there is a growing trend for farmers and enthusiasts to bring these special animals back from the brink of extinction. The genetic weaknesses of modern hybrids have also played a role in the resurgence of more sturdy heritage breeds. We can only hope that, with help, they will all be around for generations to come.
