Where to Find Heritage Cattle and Their Products

ALBC maintains a list of  Heritage Cattle breeders in its Breeders and Products Directory. This directory is one of the components of ALBC membership. If you’d like to receive a copy, please considering becoming a member.

ALBC also hosts a rare breeds classified site where many members post stock and products that they have for sale. Check out the classifieds to see what breeds might be for sale in your area. ALBC Rare Breed Classifieds

In the next few months, ALBC will be launching a limited version of its directory in an online format. This directory will allow you to search for Heritage Cattle breeders and products for those ALBC members that choose to be listed.

Other Sources for Heritage Cattle/Products:

• Check with the respective breed associations to see if they can provide a list of breeders or producers in your area. Breed association contacts are listed at the bottom of each cattle breed abstract on the ALBC website.
• Check the Local Harvest website. Because Heritage Cattle is a new term, many farmers may not be listing their meats as "Heritage". However, do your research. Look for farmers raising or selling meat from the Heritage Cattle breeds list. Also, be sure to ask questions. Ask farmers how they raise their animals to ensure the products meat the criteria of the definition.
• Eatwild.com is another website that can help you locate local breeders and producers of Heritage Cattle. Again, ask questions and know the definition!
• Visit your local Farmers Market. Again, ask questions! Know what breeds fit the definition and seek out farmers that manage their herds according to the definition.
