Late summer or early fall is the most favorable time to make a start in sheep raising Ewes may be procured pro-cured more readily at this time, and when purchased may be kept on meadows, grain stubble fields, or late-sown late-sown forage crops to get them in good condition for breeding . Experience with the ewes through fall and winter will also make a beginner be-ginner more capable of attending to them at lambing time It is seldom possible to buy any considerable number num-ber of bred ewes at reasonable prices. The inexperienced sheep raiser should begin with grade ewes of tbu best class available and a purebred rani. The raising of purebred stock and the selling of breeding rams can best be undertaken by persons experienced experi-enced in sheep raising. |
