OXFORD SHEEP ARE PROLIFIC
Breed Originated In England from
Cross of Cots~old and Hamp-
shire Oowns-GroVY Rapidly.

Oxford sheep originated in England
in the early part Of the 18th century
from a cross of Cotswold and Hamp
shire Downs. They have been known
since 1857 as O~xfordshire or Oxford
Downs. and are now widely distrib-
uted yer the United States and Can
ada They are the largest and heav.
lest Of the Down breeds. When IL
good flesh the rams should weigh 25C
10 275 pounds. and the ewes from 20C
TO 225 pounds. The wool is rather
coarser than any other OF the medium
wool breeds. and the fleece is heavier
weighing from 10 TO Il pounds IN
washed.
The face Is usually an even darl
gray or brown. with or without a gray
spot on the tip OF the nose. They are
best adapted for lands furnishing good
pasture. and 90 not succeed as vel
under range conditions or on rugged
broken pastures. The ewes are ven
prolific. uiplets being no uncommon
The lambs grow rapidly and are Of
good form. The chief Shortcomings
OF the breed is that it is not as hardy
as some others.
