I have had a long time interest in those old rare domesticated animal breeds. We are all familiar with the Shetland Pony and Sheltie Sheepdog. But I was surprised to learn about the Grice—an aggressive breed of semi-domesticated pig now extinct on the Shetland Islands. The Grice's behavior was outrageous.

I found this site on old cattle breeds interesting. http://www.grit.com/animals/heritage-cattle-breeds.aspx#axzz3ObyK4gyP
