Britannic Rare Breeds is a small dedicated organisation keen to promote all British rare breed livestock and new British breeds to a whole new generation of keen hobbyists and farmers. What is the point of preserving these livestock breeds if they can never be made to have a worthy use? Each breed has value in its own right, most are not commercially viable but all have value to domestic hobbyists or keen smallholders. The key to promotion is to educate you freely of their uses and make these native breeds easily available. Hobbyists, homesteaders, smallholders and farmers have an opportunity to use traditional British breeds for their endearing characters, features or flavours!

The great variety that still exists, thanks to the work of dedicated breeders and conservationist, means there is a British breed for almost every environment or purpose. Alternatively, a greatvariety of hardy traditional breeds could be used for their aesthetical value or to help you live a more self sufficient lifestyle. The Britannic website aims to offer reliable and honest advice to make you aware of theuses, strengths and weaknesses of a breed. We hope the site proves to be useful as reliable information is often hard to come by especially as many breeders believe their goose is a swan. Each breed will have its flaws and until breeders are willing to recognise this, the breeds cannot be correctly utilised by keen newcomers.
