"Wether.-A sheep after the
first shearing." - Congressional
Record, June 16, 1911.
A wether is sheep that's shorn;
Our Congress tells us so.
No more may ewes and rams adOrn
The range where grasses grow;
Or if you must have ewes and rams,
Don't shear them, don't you
know.
The shearing of a yearling lamb,
Says Mr.. Underwood,
Makes it a wether, sure as fate:
Let that be understood.
Thenceforth, it's fit for wool and
meat
Nor any other good.
In future years, if you would have
Some ewes and rams to breed,
You must select from unshOrn
LAMBS
And let them shed an need.
A wether is a sheep that's shorn,
And that is truth indeed.
