Data from a 12 year run at Piedmont Branch Station near Statesville shows ewes averaging 109 pounds at lambing and four month old lambs at 75 pounds. Lambs worth more at four months than their mothers, plus wool value and rapid flock growth, support sheep profitability. Professor Curtis notes annual flock increases around 18 to 20 percent, with 125 to 150 percent possible with proper breeding and care. The Piedmont experience suggests steady profit for careful shepherds.
The article explains protein's defining nitrogen content and its role in soil and plant growth. It notes nitrogen in manure and clover, the need for nitrogen in living beings, and that protein also contains carbon hydrogen oxygen plus potential phosphorus and sulfur. It cites protein quality differences, giving milk protein value over cottonseed meal, and cites a 60 percent protein tankage yielding about 10 percent nitrogen.
The article advises light mulch after ground freezes, using a few branches and a thin straw or strawy manure layer to shield perennials from moisture rather than cold. Leave all foliage until spring, then remove mulch once the frost thaws.
