Breeding Farm
LINK - https://bltlly.com/2tl2VF
Slave breeding was the practice in slave states of the United States of slave owners to systematically force the reproduction of slaves to increase their profits.[1] It included coerced sexual relations between male slaves and women or girls, forced pregnancies of female slaves, and favoring women or young girls who could produce a relatively large number of children.[1] The objective was to increase the number of slaves without incurring the cost of purchase, and to fill labor shortages caused by the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade.[2]
The slaves were managed as chattel assets, similar to farm animals. Slave owners passed laws regulating slavery and the slave trade, designed to protect their financial investment. The enslaved workers had no more rights than a cow or a horse, or as famously put by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Dred Scott v. Sandford, \"they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect\".[7] On large plantations, enslaved families were separated for different types of labor. Men tended to be assigned to large field gangs. Workers were assigned to the task for which they were best physically suited, in the judgment of the overseer.[8][9]
The prohibition on the importation of slaves into the United States after 1808 limited the supply of slaves in the United States. This came at a time when the invention of the cotton gin enabled the expansion of cultivation in the uplands of short-staple cotton, leading to clearing lands cultivating cotton through large areas of the Deep South, especially the Black Belt. The demand for labor in the area increased sharply and led to an expansion of the internal slave market. At the same time, the Upper South had an excess number of slaves because of a shift to mixed-crops agriculture, which was less labor-intensive than tobacco. To add to the supply of slaves, slaveholders looked at the fertility of slave women as part of their productivity, and intermittently forced the women to have large numbers of children. During this time period, the terms \"breeders\", \"breeding slaves\", \"child bearing women\", \"breeding period\", and \"too old to breed\" became familiar.[10]
Slave owners often bred their slaves to produce more workers. The function of such breeding farms was to produce as many slaves as possible for the sale and distribution throughout the South, in order to meet its needs. Two of the largest breeding farms were located in Richmond, Virginia, and the Maryland Eastern-Shore.
Several factors coalesced to make the breeding of slaves a common practice by the end of the 18th century, chief among them the enactment of laws and practices that transformed the view of slaves from \"personhood\" into \"thinghood\". In this way, slaves could be bought and sold as chattel without presenting a challenge to the religious beliefs and social mores of the society at large. All rights were to the owner of the slave, with the slave having no rights of self-determination either to their own person, spouse, or children.
Ned Sublette, co-author of The American Slave Coast, states that the reproductive worth of \"breeding women\" was essential to the young country's expansion not just for labor but as merchandise and collateral stemming from a shortage of silver, gold, or sound paper tender. He concludes that slaves and their descendants were used as human savings accounts, with newborns serving as interest that functioned as the basis of money and credit in a market premised on the continual expansion of slavery.[15]
North Central Texas College is located in the heart of the horse industry of North Texas. The horse industry is a highly diverse industry that supports a wide variety of activities in all regions of the country. Of the approximately 9.2 million horses in the US, nearly 1 million of those reside in Texas. The Equine Science program at NCTC offers a great deal of hands-on experience in training, breeding and management, as well as classroom instruction on the science and business aspects of the horse industry.
Visitors to Saratoga Race Course this summer will have the opportunity to learn more about the thoroughbred breeding industry through weekly tours that will bring guests off the track to a local farm.
The history of the RCMP's horse breeding program traces its roots back to 1937. That year, Assistant Commissioner S. T. Wood headed the RCMP contingent at the coronation of King George VI. He was impressed with how strongly the riders' red tunics stood out against the black horses of the Life Guards of the Household Cavalry.
The breeding program began in 1939, when Depot Division in Regina, Saskatchewan, officially started breeding these famous black horses. The farm moved to Fort Walsh, Saskatchewan, in 1942, before moving again in 1968 to its present location in Pakenham, Ontario.
The welfare of the horses is always the number one priority. The experienced staff at the farm oversees the care and well-being of the horses at all times. They address any issues immediately and a veterinarian attends as required.
Established in 2016 by Walt and Michelle Borisenok, Old Tavern Farm is a private boutique thoroughbred-breeding operation in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Located just minutes from historic Saratoga Race Course, Old Tavern Farm has been developed into a state-of-the-art facility focused on the breeding and sale of thoroughbreds to compete at the highest levels of the sport. The name Old Tavern was derived from the 19th century tavern that once graced the property.
Platunov told KTNV in June that he was worked with Caucasian shepherds for more than four decades and any allegations that the dogs in his breeding operation were not being looked after properly are \"B.S. and fake.\"
While the Joseph Hart Chapter sponsored the application in 2018, the local historical society did the work of raising matching funds and submitting the grant application to restore the farm house windows. The historical society was the first organization in Bartholomew County to receive a nationally sponsored DAR Historic Preservation Grant.
The historic Henry Breeding Farm represents the agricultural and industrial heritage of the area and served as an active farm from its purchase in 1847 until 1982. Ancestors of both Henry and Blanche Breeding were among the earliest pioneers in Bartholomew County.
The farm is maintained by the historical society to preserve local heritage and educate learners of all ages. The annual Spring on the Farm event brings many volunteers and hundreds of students each year to experience multi-generational learning and early 1900s farm life in a fun and hands-on manner.
For years, Joseph Hart Chapter member Marjorie Schmeckebier, and her husband Jack, have volunteered to demonstrate their collection of kitchen and farm implements, sharing traditional processes. The Henry Breeding Farm is a critical part of local farming history and provides hands-on experiences for people every year.
The Rhinelander Agricultural Research Station, also known as the UW Lelah Starks Potato Breeding Farm, has been a home for University potato breeding research for over 50 years. The station was made possible through a gift of stock from the estate of Lelah Starks, a pioneer Wisconsin seed potato grower. Starks left the UW one-fourth of the corporation stock as designated in her will. The corporation, Starks Farms, Inc., owned and operated her seed potato farm near Rhinelander. In time, the University exchanged a portion of its stock for the parcel of land that is now the Rhinelander Station. The University has used this property for potato breeding since before the death of Lelah Starks in 1951. It remains a primary site for ongoing research related to potato production. Many studies mapping the basic nature of the genetics of the potato have been carried on at this facility, resulting in national and international recognition through numerous publications and the release of new and improved potato varieties including Antigo, Red Beauty, Superior, Wischip, Oneida, Rhinered, Snowden , MegaChip, and most recently, Lelah, Tundra, Nicolet and Accumulator. In 2014 we released Oneida Gold and Red Endeavor.
The Rhinelander Station supports the research, instruction and outreach efforts of UW-Madison scientists in developing the Wisconsin state potato variety breeding program and solving problems of agricultural and natural resource management in northern Wisconsin.
Located in Oneida County on 235 acres of loamy sand soil, the Rhinelander Agricultural Research Station is used primarily for research on potato breeding. These studies involve genetics and cytogenetics, the breeding of new varieties, the development of breeding methods, and the incorporation of desirable genes from the wild potato project on the Peninsular Agricultural Research Station, Sturgeon Bay, WI.
\"The inaugural Saratoga Breakfast and Breeding Farm package is an exciting behind-the-scenes opportunity for visitors to Saratoga to experience a different aspect of the sport,\" said NYRA Vice President of Communications Pat McKenna. \"To be able to combine morning training with a visit to a breeding farm followed by an afternoon at the races is a trifecta fans won't want to miss.\"
Following the conclusion of breakfast at 9:30 a.m., fans will board an open-air trolley, courtesy of CDTA, at the clubhouse entrance and embark on a 15-minute ride along picturesque Saratoga Lake to Old Tavern Farm for a 90-minute experiential and educational walking tour of one of the region's premier breeding farms. Fans will arrive back at Saratoga Race Course at approximately 11:45 a.m., well in advance of post time for the start of racing at approximately 1 p.m.
\"We are honored to be part of this exciting new initiative in partnership with NYRA, the New York Thoroughbred Breeders and CDTA,\" said Old Tavern Farm founder and owner Walt Borisenok. \"We hope those who take advantage of this opportunity may become lifelong fans of the sport while others may gain a greater appreciation for how thoroughbred racing supports our local economy. And we hope all will simply enjoy the chance to see these remarkable animals at their earliest stages of life on a working breeding farm.\" 59ce067264
