Welcome to Heritage Breed Genetics

Heritage Breed Genetics, HBG, was founded in 2016 with the mission to meet the growing demand for the marketing of Heritage livestock breeds across the United States. We believe that Heritage breeds of all species play a critical role in our nation’s agricultural systems. Unlike contemporary breeds established with single- trait selection and utilized in industrialized food systems, Heritage livestock species have retained an overall hardiness that allows them to flourish in both large and small environments of animal production.

Here at HBG, we understand the many benefits of working with these ancestral breeds firsthand. Since 2012, we have raised Highland cattle, Bluefaced Leicester, Clun Forest, and Scottish Blackface sheep for our own livestock enterprise, Dandelion Ridge Farm. The year 2017 brought further expansion for us as we established an international import and export branch to our veterinary practice. Subsequently, we have had many successful importations of cattle, sheep, and goat semen from around the world. Thus, in direct response to the widespread and growing need to promote and market the exceptional genetics of Heritage livestock in the United States, we launched the Heritage Breed Genetics platform.
