Text z Príbehu
- There has been livestock production for over 10,000 years. Animals provide food, clothing and some medicines.
- This supplied a steadier supply than hunting and gathering.
- It all began with the domestication of animals.The animals' behavior was adapted to fit the needs of people.
- When animals are chosen to breed for particular characteristics, like milk production, it is called selective breeding.
- The two main types of cattle are meat breeds and dairy breeds. They have been specially bred over thousands of years for these two purposes.
- Swine, also called hogs or pigs, came here with Christopher Columbus. Wild hogs are still hunted in the southern states.
- Swine can reproduce rapidly and provide us with pork chops, loin and lard, as well as bacon!
- Sheep are raised for wool, meat and sometimes milk.
- Goats produce fine fibers such as cashmere and mohair, as well as providing meat and milk. They are pack animals and pets
- You already know chickens are used for meat and eggs, but did you know they also keep insects off plants? Some are pets and like to be petted.
- Rabbits provide meat and pelts and some are show rabbits for competition. Others are pets. Angoras produce some of the softest wool available.
- Bison (buffalo) are also livestock. Ostriches and emus (really BIG birds) provide meat, eggs, feathers and oil
- Although llamas produce meat and hides, many livestock producers run a couple with their cattle, sheep and goats for protection. Llamas have been known to stomp coyotes to death.
- I am glad you are here and have decided to take this class. Let's get started learning about our livestock!
