Download or read book Advice to the Beginner in the Selection of Sheep for Breeding Classic Reprint written by A. A. Macmillan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advice to the Beginner in the Selection of Sheep for Breeding Associate Chief, Field Services, Live Stock Branch. 21079 - ladapted to the conditions under which they will be subjected in the district where the beginner's farm or ranch is located, and meet local market require ments. The selection of breed also depends largely upon the individual taste of the shepherd and the object he has in view in raising them. In Canada, success can be attained with any of the popular breeds produced here, but no person should ever commence raising a breed for which he knows he cannot obtain a ready sale. Perhaps his means and conditions do not warrant him to enter into the production of pure-breds. If he is breeding sheep merely for mutton pur poses, high-class grades will suffice, yet even in buying grades he should take care to select only those possessing a good mutton conformation. Many farmers think that, since they own simply grades, any old sheep at all will produce good enough results in the flock, and, therefore, the more cheaply they can buy the better. This is false economy, for very frequently they obtain in their flock animals that do not pay for the expense of their keep. The breeding of sheep is now a well-established practice on many farms and in the fall of the year it is always possible to purchase well-bred ewe lambs of any of the popular breeds.
