Every few years a new "trendy" breed moves through the homesteading community. Deciding what animals to raise is an important decision. Mangalitsa or Kune Kune pigs are supposed to replace the standard Berkshire or Duroc. Bresse chickens are supposed to be better than Cornish Cross and able to breed at home.

That's all well and good, but here's why we stick with the old standbys for animals here on our small farm.
