I NOTED BREEDi
SOME FACTS RELATIVE TO
THE RAMBOUILLET SHEEP,
History of Their Introduction
Their Improvement In Weight and
Wool Due to Careful Breeding.
More than 500 years ago some
sheep were brought from Africa to
Spain. These sheep became the pro
genitors of the Spanish Merino. By
the middle of the 18th century Spain
wns the principal ..producer of fine
wool. Prance was -one of the princl
pal patrons for Spain's surplus wool
France, disliking to depend on Span
lsh flocks for her fine wool, tried as
slduously to breed up her flocks.
Royal Experiment Farm.
In K83 the Duke of Penthlevre
sold his large estate to Louis XVI.
The king, wishing to introduce, better
stock and better methods, converted
his newly acquired property Into an
experimental farm a pioneer state
experiment station, by the way.
Experiments were to be conducted
in tree planting, gardening and stock
breeding.
D'AngovIllier, the director of the
royal experimental farm, by enlisting
the aid of such inflnencial men as
Daubentor and others, who were in
terested from patriotic motives In
having France able to produce her
own fine wool in place of being de
pendent on outside sources, secured
In the name of the king of France,
permission from the king of Spain to
Import a number of the celebrated
Spanish Merino sheep. From politi
cal motives, the Spanish king- further
ed the plan by instructions to his
subjects to give the tops of their
flocks to the king of France. They
were selected by a French shepard
named Gilbert, whose grandson Is
still handling blomled sheep in
France.
The First Importation.
On the loth of June. 1786, 318 ewes
nnd -II rams and seven wethers were
shipped to France. They arrived at
llambouillet as the Royal experiment
station was called on. October 12
1786.
Donations wore made from this im
imrtatlon to various sheepowners
throughout France.
In 1S00 Gilbert secured a second 1m
portation from Spain. At that time
the nverage clip of the Spanish Merl
nos was seven pounds a fleece. The
rams averaged a weight of 131 pounds
and the ewes 96 pounds.
From that day to the present time
the purity of the Royal Flock has
been scrupulously maintained.
This is the origin of the celebrated
Ramboulllet sheep bo well known and
so favorably known throughout East
ern Oregon.
Improved Conditions.
By care In feeding, in keeping and
breeding they have been bred up to a
point where the bucks weigh from
200 to 250 poundb and the ewes from
120 to 150 pounds.
The weight of the fleece of the
bucks will run as high as 35 or 40
pounds and will probably average
from 16 to 20 pounds. It Is not only a
heavy fleece, but It Is noted for Its
length, strength and elasticity. This
breed of sheep makes rapid growth,
fattens readily and makes excellent
mutton.
Oregon's Prize Winners.
Oregon possesses some splendid
examples of the typical Ramboulllet.
In Crook county on Hay creek, some
world beating Ramboulllet are found.
They-are large o f frame, big boned,
well shaped, blocky bodies, broad
chested, deep loined, and wooled from
the tip of their wrinkled nose to the
hoof. One could not find room to
put another bit of wool. The time
will come when the stock sheep will
give way to the finer breeds. Though
the Spanish Merino Is hard to beat.
yet the Ramboulllet has a well-deserv
ed popularity. A recent report of g
government expert says:
"The Ramboulllet sheep are more
vigorous, have less yolk, are less lia
ble to disease, less liable to lung af
fections, and to constitutional break
down in long service, the wool Is
longer, stronger and less greasy than ' T
most other breeds." J
