sheep Growers, Wake Up.

Kentucky farmers are asleep
to the advantages of raising
sheep both in a financial way
and as a help to the farming
land itself according to Prof.
Richard C. Miller. Sheep Ex-
tension Specialist of the Univer-
sity of Kentucky College of Ag-
riculture in an address for the
Louisville Live Stock Exchange
in connection with the purebred
livestock campaign being cor
Quoted by the Exchange and tie
Kentucky Purebred Livestock
Association.
Emphasis on the possibilities
of sheep raising developed coin
cidentalIy with Prof Miller's
talk when the price of lamb
! jumped SOC per hundred at the
Bourbon Stock yards with a
growing demand from the east
| ern consumers and a slow move
ment Of lambs to the market.
/ Prof. Miller in his talk declar-
ed that the use of grade and
scrub rams at the head of s. per
cent of the focks of the State
meant loss annually of $1,000
600 to the industry. A complete
survey of the State by Prof.
Miller shows that out of more
than 1000, 900 sheep in the State
J
fewer than 1000 are registered
purebred.
Reluctance of the farmer to
invest $40 to $50 for a registered
ram is blamed for this situation,
the price of his lack of vision
being inferior animals with an
invariable loss. Tendency of
| the farmer to rush into the sheep
industry when prices are high
and then to pull out rush into
the sheep industry when prices
are high and then to pull out
when there is slump also for
the variable size and quality of
fiocks.
Prof: Miller's address follows:
Two years ago Kentucky
farmers were buying sheep at
fancy prices, paying fifteen to
twenty and even twenty-five
dollars in some cases for ordi-
nary breeding ewes. Today
these same farmers are sacrific-
ing their focks at less than one
half what they paid for them.
am not surprised at this attitude
on the part of Kentucky farmer
because experience has shown
that he goes into the livestock
business when prices are higi
then gets discouraged and goe
out when prices slump.
In my opinion there was neve
