Endangered

This dimension marks how at risk a livestock breed actually is, from common to critically endangered. Wikipedia notes that intensive animal farming "increases the yield of the various commercial outputs, but also impairs animal welfare, the environment, and public health," pressures that have pushed many older breeds toward rarity. Browsing by breed risk status collects every breed that shares the same level of risk.
