Wondering if, given all the other articles out there on rare breeds, if it would make sense to point this article in the direction of being more of an annotated list to all the wiki articles on the topic (not a list of every single rare breed per se, but a list of the other articles on various aspects of rare breeds...). Just a thought. Montanabw (talk) 04:33, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
The lede is copied almost verbatim from identical with the Google Books blurb of the book
Rare Breeds: Unusual Farm Animals from Around the World, which goes as follows:
"A rare breed is defined as a breed of livestock that is not common in modern agriculture, though it may have been in the past. Various national and international organizations, such as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, and the Rare Breeds Survival Trust of the United Kingdom, each define the exact parameters by which a breed may be defined as rare, and many breeds that qualify only have a few thousand or even a few hundred breeding individuals remaining in the world. These organizations promote conservation of heritage livestock for their unique traits, which may contribute to genetic diversity among animals important to human food supplies and economies, as well as to general biodiversity and improvements in animal husbandry."
Needless to say, this is This may be a
copyright violation. I will try to change some formulations and add the proper reference, but I might have to leave my desk soon, so I'm leaving this message for all to see. Cheers!

Like Once again, we are ahead of the curve (now, if someone makes a book out of wikipedia articles, are they engaging in paid editing? Hmmm...)
