Show STARTING A SHEEP FLOCK For storting a small farm flock I bellevo that It will pay a good deal better to get puro bred owes and a pure bred ram, says a correspondent of tho American Agriculturist. Thero Is a great deal of satisfaction In having hav-ing well bred animals on tho placo and the)' will bo of moro vnluo every year. It Is not necessary to pay fancy fan-cy prices for animals such as are seen ' in tho show ring, but good, registered . animals aro worth while. Howovcr, it I wero going to buy grades I would say tho very cheapest ewes I could get, but would still get a puro bred I ram. A ram will very quickly build up tho flock, and tho quality of tho owes at first will not mako very much difference after tho first year or two Tho cheaper ones will net a larger return on tho Investment. |
