not surpassed anywhere, and that the
business can be run on large scale
has been demonstrated by numbers
of successful farmers, though sheep
raising has never been given that at
tention it deserves, owing to the at
tacks of marauding animals and to the
uniform belief that it is not likely
to prove a profitable industry. This
belief has arisen from the Indifferent
management to which sheep have
been subjected in many instances.
The opportunities for profit in early
lambs are unsurpassed. Many breed
ers and handlers of sheep have told
the writer that they expect to make
from six to eight dollars per head
clear, each year. At the present time
there is no difficulty about selling the
lambs at a handsome profit in some
parts. Buyers often come and want
to buy the lambs year ahead, and
will offer the owners from 5 to 61a
cents a pound live weight, at the
farm or adjacent railway station. AS
these lambs are grown under natural
conditions they can be produced
much more cheaply than the dollhouse
lambs, and, in fact, do not come in
the earliness of the season, they are
ready to go on the market in May or
June. when there is scarcity OF
lambs on the market in the larger
cities of the East. The wool should
pay for their feed, leaving the lamb
as profit to the owner. AS the lambs
can often be made to weigh from 10
to 80 pounds when turned Off, ii prop
erly handled, it is easy to see that
they should thus be able to count on
a return of about Sc per eve, and 1t
is a well-known fact that sheep entail
but little labor even when receiving
the best care and attention. Of course
there will be some losses from dis
ease and attacks of dogs and other
causes, but still, for all that, hun
dred ewes will raise, under average
conditions. more than a hundred mark
etable lambs.
Thus it is plain that the rearing
and handling of early lambs, and
sheep ranching in the northwest on the
cheap, rough lands of good quality
that can now be purchased at a very
low cost, is a profitable industry and
is likely to be so for many years to
come, as the supply of lambs is not
equal to the demand at the present
time. With the development OF good
markets the industry is bound to I'M
prove and be still more profitable.
