Garfield Farm Museum presents its annual Rare Breeds Livestock and Poultry Show from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 18, preceded Saturday by a special class on “Chicken Selection” by Don Schrider of the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.

Owners of rare breeds of livestock and poultry will exhibit their animals at Sunday’s show. Garfield Farm is a 370-acre historically intact, former 1840s prairie farm and teamster inn that is being restored as an 1840s working farm museum.

It has hosted the Rare Breeds Livestock Show and Sale since 1987, and has a conservation flock of Black Java chickens in addition to its Narragansett turkeys, Pilgrim geese, Merino sheep, milking Devon oxen and the last known pair of old type Berkshire hogs. The museum is five miles west of Geneva, north of Route 38 on Garfield Road.

The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy is a nonprofit organization working to protect 150 breeds of cattle, goats, horses, asses, sheep, pigs, rabbits and poultry from extinction. It is the pioneer organization in the country, working to conserve heritage breeds and genetic diversity in livestock. Visit www.albc-usa.org.
