LIVE AND DEAD WEIGHT IN SHEEP.
The English rule is to weigh the sheep
when fatted, and divide the weight by 2
and call it quarters. Thus, sheep
weighing l40 pounds would give 90
pounds quarter as the dead weight. II
the sheep are in good condition this rule
is sufficiently accurate for all purposes
Poor sheep will fall below the mark, and
extra fat ones 90 over it.
