   Gentle Cousins,

          There is a cool site ... http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/
insert type of animal:  for example:
http://www.ansci.okstate.edu/breeds/sheep gives you more sheep breeds
than you could have thought possible!  With a picture, and a little
description and often a link to that breed's association.

         Another is the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy
www.albc-usa.org  .

         Good luck chasin' chickens!
         Elizabeth
