 Reaching Back to the Past
– The Work of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust (RBST)
The Rare Breeds Survival Trust’s Annual Show and Sale is
the main event for the RBST and is a showcase for many quality
domestic rare breeds.
Held each September in Warwickshire, England this is an
opportunity to see some of the finest genetic lines of domestic
rare breeds available, including cattle, sheep, pigs and
poultry.
With the help of Lawrence Alderson and his staff, this video
explores the work of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, their success
in rebuilding some of the rare breeds from the brink of extinction,
their work with the Rare Breeds Meat Marketing Scheme and their
involvement in many other areas.
We also visit the Temple Newsam Estate the world’s largest
rare breeds farm. We look at one of the few remaining Red Poll
dairy herds and then travel to David Lishman’s traditional
butcher’s shop, in Ilkley, Yorkshire.
