ALBC – The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy is a clearing-house for information on livestock and genetic diversity. These breeds are threatened because agriculture has changed. Modern food production now favors the use of a few highly specialized breeds selected for maximum output in a controlled environment.  Many traditional livestock breeds have lost popularity and are threatened with extinction. These traditional breeds are an essential part of the American agricultural inheritance. Not only do they evoke our past, they are also an important resource for our future. The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, founded in 1977, is the only organization in the U.S. working to conserve rare breeds and genetic diversity in livestock.


BLMAdoption program. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is responsible for managing the nation's public lands. The wild horses and burros on the public rangelands are managed consistent with BLM's multiple use mission which takes into consideration natural resources such as wildlife and vegetation and other users such as livestock & recreationists. With the passage of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, the primary responsibilities of the BLM are to preserve and protect wild horses and burros and to manage for healthy rangelands. When an over-population of wild horses and burros exists on the range, the excess animals are removed and offered to the general public for adoption.
