Yorkshire pigs existed long before Hereford pigs yet Herefords are considered a "heritage" breed? This line of thinking seems backwards to me. Can anyone explain why Yorkshires, Hampshires, Landrace, etc are not on the list? They have been recorded as being around longer for sure... so "what" makes a breed a heritage breed?
