A ewe should not be bred until
fthe is u year old and as the breed
ing season for farm sheep in Me
linites county is in September, lambs
to be dropped the following Jan
uary, the ewe will be two years old
with her first lamb. Hunty ewes
result from breeding ewt- lambs,
droppen in January ran be weaned in
May and if not marketed ut once
should go onto a good legume pas
ture. The ewes shouhl have good Kreett
feed tin? last two weeks in August
and the rams turned in September 1.
Before turning in the rams the Dock
should be eulled of all ewes with
spoiled udders, broker mouths or
extremely light fleeces.
When cold weather sets in. the
sheep should be fed about two pounds
of first class alftilfa per head per
day. The feeding should be done
at exactly the same hour each day
as the sheep will be ready for it and
any delay irritates them.
As lambing time approaches the
farmer should go among his sheep,
getting acquainted, tagciug them if
necessary, and gentling them. A
man that is not willing to care for
his ewes day and night during lamb
ing should not raise sheep. The ewes
should be housed at night. As they
show signs of lambing they should
be separated and held in a small
pen for at least 24 hours. All lambs
should be docked at B week old
the grades and cull pure breds B
truted at two weeks.
If good alfalfa Ifl at hand no gruin
need he fed to healthy sheep. Pure
water should be accessible at all
times. During April. May and June
it will be a problem on most farms
to keep the flock from getting too
fat.
Shearing usually comes in May.
If the wool is not sold at once it
should be placed in a cool shelter. A
small 15 foot dipping vat in a com
munity where sheep are raised will
more than pay for itself each season.
From actual experience it has been
proven that from a $200 investment
in farm sheep, a yearly profit of 100
per cent above feed costs can be ob
tained by giving the flock good care.
