John Young, of Sidney, Man, gives
his experiences in sheep-raising as fol-
lows, MS quoted in Il local pape-:
IL bought Il bunch of fifty ewes.
which cost ME $262.5O. With this
little flock I demonstrated Jus; what
can be done in the sheep business.
This fall l sold fifty fat lambs at $3.50
per head, 1926, and is Of the best eve
lambs, which I kept. l value at $500
per head, S144. The wool sold at an av-
eruge of $2.O7 per head, SlO3.5O. This
makes the very nice total of $57..50."
They ran out nearly every day all
winter. The valu of hay and oats
was small, and one can make them
very comfortable through the winter
with very little expense. For shelter
| have a shed, about 125 feet long and
IA feet wide, which ] cover with straw.
This gives them protection from the
cold winds; yet it is always cool
enough to be healthy"
Il intend going in more for sheep
this fall, as l believe Them to be the
most profitable stock on the farm"
Desire of farmers and ranchers to
increase their sheep holdings is intli-
Gated by the sale of 2.,.o00 head re-
Gently ut $500 each. High wool
prices and profitable demand for NUT
ton are the reason given for such Il
figure.
Manitoba sheep breeders arranged
last year for the Provincial Depart
ment of Agriculture to handle their
o output on Il cooperative basis
nnd obtained most satisfactory results.
About $4,000 lbs. of wool were han
died. netting the shippers over 25c
