What livestock is kept or farmed in Britain?

1. Cattle: Britain is known for its dairy farming, and cattle breeds such as the Holstein, Jersey, and Guernsey are commonly raised for their high milk production. Beef cattle breeds like the Aberdeen Angus and Hereford are also raised for meat.

2. Sheep: Sheep farming is an important part of British agriculture, with various breeds such as the Suffolk, Hampshire Down, and Cheviot prized for their meat and wool.

3. Pigs: Pig farming is another significant sector, with breeds like the Large White, Landrace, and Duroc being commonly raised for pork production.

4. Poultry: Poultry farming includes raising chickens for meat (broilers) and eggs (layers). Turkeys, ducks, and geese are also farmed in smaller numbers.

5. Goats: While not as prevalent as cattle or sheep, goats are kept for their milk, meat, and fiber.

6. Horses: Horse breeding and racing have a rich history in Britain. Thoroughbreds, famous for their racing abilities, are among the prominent horse breeds.
