The guide notes dry well ventilated sheep housing is essential. For small flocks, integrate with other barns but for about 100 ewes separate buildings help reduce labor during feeding and lambing. Emphasis on fencing good pastures and movable flocks, with inexpensive feed racks and troughs to prevent waste.

Guidance on Pigs Breeding and Feeding Standards
The guide advises separating breeding stock from fattening pigs after weaning. Select gilts with exceptional type for replacement, avoid full males unless breeding purebreds, and feed breeding stock more protein without overloading. Emphasizes pasture access, forage use, and a higher protein grain ration to promote bone and muscle while keeping sows and gilts adequately nourished for pregnancy.
KEEP BEST YOUNG ANIMALS
The most successful breeders of bred livestock are men who do sell the young animals that definitely excel the parents. High prices do not tempt, nor equal merit in other herds or flocks concern such makers of breed history. It is with their own familiar animals that they produce the best results, for no matter how excellent the purchased animal may be, seldom produces no good results in carrying forward the breeder's ideals of improvement.
