Profitable flocks avoided wethers, used vigorous rams, cross breeding, and legume-rich roughage, with 75 percent more grain.

Storing Ice in Farm Icehouses for Best Preservation
The U S Department of Agriculture advises packing ice cakes tightly to form a solid mass and minimize air gaps. Irregular cakes should be filled with broken ice, edges trimmed, and insulation provided with sawdust. Maintain at least 12 inches clearance from walls and add dry sawdust centers for even weight distribution. A foot-thick bottom layer is recommended except in the middle where it rests thinner to encourage central sliding.
