All of us at Carolyn’s would like to thank you because your admission dollars
directly contribute to Carolyn’s mission of saving and preserving native and heritage
farm animals.
Endangered animals are more than exotic creatures in far off lands. Many old yet
previously common animals are disappearing from our farms as rural lifestyles have
changed.
Animals that produce more meat, more milk, more eggs or more wool have been
bred by prosperous farmers. The farm animals that were not as productive have declined in
their numbers. Many breeds are close to being extinct.
Why is this important to save these animal breeds? It is called genetic diversity.
These animals have tremendous genetic value. However, these animals have limited
market value.
