Sheep and Shepherds a Profitable Industry
Kasper Beekman, a noted sheep farmer from Grove township, shares extensive insights on German Saxony breeds, crossbreeding strategies with Cotswold and Shropshire, and the care required to prevent ticks and scab. He emphasizes dry, small flocks, winter feeding, and April fattening of wethers, while praising the long-range pasture plan and wool and mutton dual value. The Telegraph endorses American wool production and discusses breeding theory, pedigree concepts, and the value of stud-book history for selecting brood mares and other stock.
