The breed being then unmixed with any other, will continue to retain the qualities of skin, fleece, carcase, and constitution, it possessed at the fifth cross ever after. These will all indeed still improve by selection, as in any other breed of sheep. There would be an advantage in regard to frugality in importing a few females of the full blood, as well as males, to produce pure Merino males, for the purpose of perfecting the cross breed with the native Shetland ewes and their crosses.
