62 - History of Native Livestock - Robert Bakewell

Toplines and Tales - A podcast by Andy Frazier - Fridays

Categories:

My guest Clive Davies and I discuss the merits of Robert Bakewell,  possibly one of the most influential livestock breeders in history, not just for what he bred but for his pioneering ways and the legacy he left from his experimental methods. As well as creating the Leicester sheep and the Shire horse, he will be most remembered for developing the Longhorn breed of cattle.
