Heritage Breeds Forever Stamps, 2021 Sheet – Cards, Letters and Stamp Collecting

Each design pictures a different animal with its common name listed below.  All of the heritage breeds shown on the stamps were established in the Americas.

Most of these heritage breeds have few animals of the original breeding stock left today.  However, there is a growing trend for farmers and enthusiasts to bring these special animals back from the brink of extinction.  The genetic weaknesses of modern hybrids have also played a role in the resurgence of more sturdy heritage breeds.  We can only hope that, with help, they will all be around for generations to come.
