Once plentiful in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, Marsh Tackies are now endangered with less than 250 documented Marsh Tackies in existence. Individual owners and enthusiasts along with the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy are diligently working to save the Marsh Tacky and to preserve the history of the breed.
