Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ...he does by selling wool. This is due to a heavy demand for his sheep for breeding purposes. In the States of the corn belt the Merinos seem to resist the prevalent intestinal diseases better than the English breeds, and the farmers there buy them to raise cross-bred lambs for the market. From the Northwest likewise the flock-owner is now looking in large measure to the Southwest to recruit his stock of breeding ewes. For even though he aims rather at good mutton than at fine wool, yet so long as the open-range methods of husbandry endure, he must keep the Merino strain predominant in his flocks. It is evident therefore that while the southwestern sheep man does not directly produce much mutton, yet he furnishes a stock on which at present mutton-growers of other regions depend, and in this way he receives a share of the profits from the production of meat. In the Rocky Mountain region taken as a whole the average annual expense of the flock-owner is about $2.11 per head of sheep. In 1910 his receipts averaged $2.56 a head, and of this sum wool yielded him only $1.17, or considerably less than one-half. This indicates that in that region mutton is now the chief product of sheep husbandry, and that wool has been reduced to the position of a very valuable by-product. It is not likely that wool-growing can ever regain its former relative importance in the West. At present practically every acre of grazing land is in use, and indeed is somewhat overstocked. Further territorial expansion t11erefore is out of the question. On the contrary, the advance of settlement and extension of agriculture is rapidly reducing the available area. At the same time increasing costs of pasturage have been accompanied by rising prices of hay and grain. The...
