"Few livestock breeds can claim iconic status. Welsh Blacks can." "And thanks to Jenny Buckton, their story is told and their significance explained in this researched and comprehensively illustrated book." "But in exploring the history and evolution of the breed, the author also outlines significant developments in Welsh farming life over the centuries, incorporating aspects of science, folklore and literature as well as the anecdotes and authority of well-established breeders and enthusiasts."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
