I love that you introduced me to the Livestock Conservancy. I really hadn't understood how important our heritage animal breeds are. Now I look to support farmers that keep these breeds alive as often as I can. And my food almost always tastes so much better from these farms.

That is so true! Additionally, heritage milking cattle often retain the A2A2 gene.

Thank you, Beth! It's been a wild journey that brought us together, and I'm so glad to pass on what I've learned. Heritage breeders are generally very bright, passionate, and independent. Would you agree?
