DESCRIPTION:SVF will be hosting our Annual Visitors Day on Saturday\, Jun
 e 2\, 2012. We will have educational exhibits discussing the importance 
 of conservation and agriculture.\nSVF is a non-profit organization situa
 ted on a beautiful historic farm in Newport\, RI. The mission of SVF is 
 to preserve endangered breeds of livestock used for food and fiber. In c
 ollaboration with Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine\, SVF col
 lects germplasm &ndash\; semen and embryos &ndash\; from rare breeds of 
 cattle\, sheep and goats. Germplasm is cryogenically frozen and placed i
 n long term storage using liquid nitrogen\, where it may remain for hund
 reds of years before being thawed and used to reawaken an extinct breed.
 \nThough SVF is typically a closed site due to biosecurity\, Visitors Da
 y allows the public to see our livestock and speak directly with the SVF
  laboratory\, veterinary and animal care staff. In addition to a self-gu
 ided tour through the historic property of Swiss Village\, several endan
 gered breeds will be on display\, along with professional sheep-shearing
  and cryogenic demonstrations throughout the day. \nThis event is free t
 o the public. Free parking and transportation will be provided from Fort
  Adams State Park.
