What is breed extinction?

I want to know the meaning of extinction in the context of cattle breeds. Is it the complete wipe out of a breed (population) or the reduction in numbers that are not viable for sustainable regeneration/reproduction?

Say all Jersey Cows are extinct meaning that particular breed no longer exists. But say Holsteins are still around.

you answered your question, it can be the reduction in numbers that are not viable for sustainable regeneration/reproduction.
