The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-01-01
Sheen Conditions Look Good.

Of all the men engaged in livestock
husbandry, the sheep raisers certainly
had the best of it last year. Inc In
f1ated price of wool and the exception
al demand for mutton made the sheep
a very desirable product and owners
of the f1eecy tribe coined money as
never before. A glance at the his
tory of the sheep business reveals the
fact that there have been great many
ups and downs in the industry, but
during the span of the past twenty
years there were decidedly more
downs than ups. There have been
years of adversely when many sheep
men fell by the wayside and had to
give up the struggle. Those who could
stick it out through thick and thin
averaged up pretty good profit. The
question is how long present values
will hold up. The Live Stock World
bellows that indications are good for
next year. The price and demand for

fiuence exerted by animals in the re-
cent crosses as compared with animals
in those that are remote. He should
also understand the value of line
breeding, especially in the males,
when it results in the concentration
of an aggregation of excellent blood
inheritance linked with first-class in
dividuality. Correct choice in blood
lines accompanied with correct type
and sufficient stamina, should result
in speedily evening up excellence in
a flock where selection in the females
retained for breeding is sufficiently
rigid. One would imagine that with
choice of males outlined as above there
would be no progeny so inferior that
it would be necessary to Gull out the
same, in order to secure uniformity In
the flock Such, however, is not the
fact. Inferior animals will come oc-
casionally no matter what the excel
lence of the parents. This may result
from various causes. The present
health of one or both parents may be
temporarily impaired. The food may
be different in different years, owing
to a difference in the seasons and to
other reasons, and this may influence
the progeny before it is born. The
variations which are thus produced
must be eliminated if that higher level
is to be attained.
The breeder must also resolutely
refuse to part with his best specimens
unless the price offered is clearly more
than they are worth. In some in
stances, especially when breeding
pure-breds, he should refuse to sell his
best animals at almost any price, 9TH
erwise commanding excellence cannot
be reached. Want of uniformity in
flock is one of the strongest indica-
tions of lack of skill in breeding on
the part of the breeder, and one OF
the strongest evidences OF marked
skill in the same possession OF mark
ed uniformity of high order in all
the animals of the flock.
