and wool supply was manifested by
many persons whose responsibility

lieved that this use for grazing
sheep would have not only SEN
timental value but a practical one.
But owners and persons charged
with the care OF such property are
advised 70 investigate the matter
thoroughly before they embark in
the enterprise OF raising sheep.
Sheep raising involves much more
than placing the animals in good
pasture, the specialists explain. II
has its technical side. and at pres
ent, when every pound OF wool and
every pound of meat is needed, II
is felt that experience bought at the
price Of either wool or meat would
be too costly The animal hus-
bandry division OF the department
will answer requests for information
from persons who desire 70 raise
sheep, and has number OF pub
locations on the subject available
for free distribution.
Cost of Sheep High.
Sheep now cost approximately
three times as much as in normal
times Good commercial sheep at
present sell for from S1s 70 $50 a
head.
In any sheep enterprise provision
must be made for the guarding or
fencing in Of the flock. for not only
are the animals prone 20 stray from
home pastures, but they are favored
prey for dogs which annually in
fiict great losses on the industry
Winter care must be provided for,
and feed and sheltered quarters
must be available in cold weather.
Persons who desire 20 raise sheep
are advised 70 enter the industry
with a view OF staying for several
years at least. The gross annual
returns from the ewes Of breeding
age may be expected TO range from

the percentage OF lambs raised. the
weight Of the fleece and the value

with good management will each
raise a lamb. The lamb AT FIVE
months will weigh approximately so
pounds and will be worth 8 cents
a pound and over. The useful life
Of n sheep is about six years.
