      abstract = {The aim of the article was to identify leading  relationship attitudes among farmers keeping animals of  conservative breeds. The practical justification for the  adopted analyses was to identify factors that foster  desirable relations (attitudes) in agriculture based on  ties. The research was conducted among 145 farms using an  interview questionnaire in the poviats of three voivodships  (Malopolskie, Podkarpackie, Lubelskie), where operations  with livestock conservation breeds occurred. Collective  selection was deliberate, meeting the criteria for the use  of the extended diversity of breeds of farmed animals in 3  categories (cows, sheep and pigs). On the basis of the PCA  test and analysis, 2 types of attitudes were selected:  bonded and opportunistic. In the implemented accounts  represented by farms according to three species of animals  of conservative breeds, the opportunistic attitude was more  prevalent than the prison attitude. The opportunism of pig  and cattle breeders was particularly valued. In addition,  the distribution of attitudes in groups was analysed, among  others, due to the characteristics of farmers (age, sex,  education and professional experience) and the presence of  a successor on the farm. What was confirmed, among others,  was the impact of a lack of professional experience of  farmers on pro-bonding attitudes. In addition, in the  groups, the distribution of attitudes was analysed, among  others, according to the characteristics of farmers (age,  gender, education, professional experience) and the  presence of a successor on the farm. The influence of the  lack of professional experience of farmers on  relationship-oriented attitudes was confirmed. The younger  generation of farmers may be more effective in implementing  programmes of genetic biodiversity of farm animals.  Small-scale farms, developed by better-educated farmers,  with short work experience in agriculture and less  experience in keeping animals of conservative breeds, prove  to be developmental. The obtained results are illustrative  of purposely selected objects, with restrictions, they can  be related to the population of all Polish farms keeping  animals of conservative breeds.},
