The guide "Rediscovering Old Farm and Domestic Animal Breeds" by Martin Haller offers a comprehensive exploration of the diversity of old domestic animal breeds from Central Europe. With over 200 described breeds, including the Rhaetian Grey Cattle, the Carinthian Brillenschaf, and the Altsteirer Chicken, it makes a valuable contribution to the preservation of these endangered animals. The author, known for his specialist books on dogs and horses, not only imparts knowledge about the characteristics and care of these breeds but also their significance for hobbyists and farmers. The richly illustrated book contains detailed information on 24 horse and donkey breeds, 29 cattle breeds, 8 pig breeds, 27 sheep breeds, and 15 goat breeds, as well as 87 poultry breeds, 12 rabbit breeds, and 15 dog breeds. It is an indispensable reference work for anyone interested in the preservation and care of these valuable breeds.
