Notes on Sheep Husbandry for Market Lambs
Ground feed will not be sent of the lambs now. Fatten the lambs well before sending to market. Ventilation should be provided but direct drafts avoided. Medium sized sheep usually have the best and heaviest feces. The remaining part of the crop can be pulled before frost and stored for winter feed. To give best results not over 50 members of mutton sheep should be penned together. All flocks should be graded according to age size and condition as far as practicable. Rough hillsides if covered with rich grasses make the best pasture land for sheep. Turnips may be used as fall feed. Turn the flock into the stall and let them cup the turnips. One good sheep will always be in more profit than two poor. Usually the poor ones are less. The best fleece will be the mark of the best sheep, that have a form. The most unfavorable under which sheep can constantly submit.
