Wool Growing in Beaverhead by T. B. Craver
In a Beaverhead County talk Craver argues for a versatile Merino-based flock. He urges large smooth Merinos for wool and lamb production, favors crossbreeding with Cotts wool if larger sheep are needed, and stresses long fiber, white wool, and hardy, mothering ewes. He warns against wrinkled sheep like some Shropshires and outlines lambing on range with careful handling and winter preparation.
