The Management Of Sheep

On The Farm. u5s s'ss Of 6 ;sf 1%'"a'

turned in the field while the weeds
are young and tender.
I'm some Investigations carried on
by the Canadian government among a
considerable number of sheepman to
determine the kinds of weeds eaten by
sheep, it was generally agreed that
sheep would consume all but a very
few extremely unpalatable ones, such
as MULLEN, Scotch thistle, etc. Upon
inquiry as to the specific kinds eaten,
one farmer replied that he could not
give any definite information on the
subject as the sheep kept his farm so
free from weeds that he could not see
what kinds they actually ate.
Where sheep have been kept, but
where for some reason they have been
disposed of, a striking difference has
usually occurred in the appearance of
the farm. Weeds have sprung up and
grown where they had formerly been
kept in check. There is no better solu-
ton to the weed problem than a flock
of sheep.
Establishing a Flock.
In establishing a flock it is better
for the farmer to start on a small
scale, unless he has previously had ex-
perience. When one is dealing with
small numbers, mistake in manage
ment or an error in judgment is not Of
so great Importance as where larger
numbers are involved. Starting with
a small flock requires less capital also.
If it is desired to augment the size of
the flock, this can be done by the nat
ural increase, the best eve lambs be-
ing selected each year for the purpose.
This should prove more economical
than buying all the breeding stock out
right. Where the stock is produced on
the farm, only the cost of production
can rightly be charged against it, but
where it is purchased the cost of pro-
duction plus a profit and very often
the price of the reputation of the
breeder must be paid. By producing
the breeding stock himself, the farmer
should secure a uniform lot and one
better adapted to his own particular
Another advantage of
small numbers, especially where CAPT
tai is limited, is that better animals
can be purchased.

Importance of Proper Selection.

Selecting the breeding stock is the
most important operation in establish
ing the flock. 1t would be a much
simpler problem if the visible quail
ties, such as form, were the only ones
concerned, but such is not the case.
Functional characteristics, such as
fecundity and good milking qualities,
are equally important. Too much at
tention can not be given to this phase
of selection. Upon success or failure
of proper selection depends the ad-
vance or retardation of the flock. The
old adage, "Well begun is half done
was never more appropriate than
here.

\ Purebred Flock.

Purebred stock has a number of adj
vantages over grades. These may be
divided into natural and artificial. The
natural or inherent advantages of
purebred stock arise from the fact
that there has been a concentrated eff
fort in the development of the better
breeds to establish, intensity, and per-
petuate their superior qualities by us
ing only the best animals for breeding
purposes. There have been some eX-
ceptions to this, some inferior animals
have entered. but the formation of
breed has in general been based upon
superiority in some form. Neverthe
less, owing to the temperance of in
ferior individuals, not all purebred
sheep are suitable to retain in the
flock.
A breeder of purebreed sheep can
develop a reputation that never could
be acquired with grades. The sales
of pedigree breeding stock extend over
a much wider range of territory than
those of market stock. The show ring
also spreads abroad the fame of the
breeder of purebred stock. Larger
prices are obtained for purebred ewes
and rams when sold for breeding pur-
poses, although it costs little more to
produce them after the flock is once
established. There is also more sta
bility in their values than in those of
market stock.
Certain artificial advantages have
been set up by the establishment of
the breeds, because of set regulations
that must be met as a condition of
registration under these breeds. For
instance, no matter how nearly a
grade may approach a purebred in
identity of blood lines, it never be-
comes eligible to registry in the asso-
Citations of the well-established breeds.
Crossbred Sheep.
At times the market, or the natural
conditions of a new country, may de-
mand a type of sheep that can best
be produced by crossing two breeds.
If a demand of this nature is other
than temporary new breed is devel-
oped, or the existing breeds are so
changed that they fulfill the demand.
The Corriedale sheep of Australia and
New Zealand are a breed resulting
from crossing to meet market de-
mands. As a rule, crossing is not very
satisfactory. The reasons for this are
that the breeding stock must be main
tanned separate or brought in from

lished, especially if it is a purebred
flock.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1914-08-29

outside the flock and that the lambs
are not very uniform, especially after
the first generation. Some English in
vestigations indicate that crossbred
sheep are less fertile, but it is doubt
full whether there is enough difference
in this respect to be of any import
ance.
Cross breeding among the medium
and long wool breeds has been rarely
practiced in America. Crossing the
fine woods with the medium and long
woods has been done to a considerable
extent in the range country, but to a
rather limited extent upon the farm.
The general practice has been to use
mutton rams upon merinO ewes. The
object of this crossing has been to i'm
prove the mutton qualities, or, in other
words, to meet market demand. In
England cross-breeding is very COM
mon practice; purebred ewes, after
producing several crops of lambs, be-
ing mated to rams of other breeds.
General Type of Sheep for the Farm.
The farmers sheep should be a
wool and mutton sheep, with emphasis
upon mutton. This dual purpose"
sheep, if the name be permissible, is
a proved success, and it is already
represented in some of the breeds.
The best type is the most profitable
combination of wool and mutton. The
Investigations of the tariff boards in
dicate that sheep farming for wool
alone is Improbable. In investigat
ing SAB f1ocks of the fine-wool section
of Ohio they found that when there
was a net credit to wool the percent
age of receipts from wool was 38 and
from other sources 81. If the raising
of sheep for wool alone does not pay
in this region, it probably would not
in any other part of the farming
section.

Begin early to grade your flock.
Take out the poor ones for table use
now. They eat as much as they are
worth and keep the best from getting
enough and occupy room, Gull them
