Cattle have been an essential part of Britain’s agricultural history for centuries, providing milk, meat, and labor in traditional farming communities. Many native British cattle breeds, such as the Red Poll and Gloucester, are now at risk due to changes in farming practices and the preference for higher-yielding commercial breeds. Preserving these native breeds is crucial for maintaining the genetic diversity and traditional farming methods that have shaped Britain’s rural landscape. Protecting these cattle not only helps sustain the rich agricultural heritage of the country but also ensures that future generations can continue to benefit from the environmental and cultural value of traditional cattle farming.
