i Tlio opinion of a •prohiiii'cr.t ••breeder oit the question, Does ife pay to breed big •f.haep?" is Worth' recording. He said, M am inclined >tp '.liink that it docn not pay. A'ew-e of great size must require,. a, proportionate • ambuni of food, and if 120 moderate sized sheep could be carrijd ■with the same 'amount- of grass that- it would'take to-;feed 100 of th*.very-big ones, th3-moderate sized fht-ep should- pay best. lam no advocate ft.T small slieep, especially breeding ewes, bui it seems pasible that they can be too big. As a general rule the very big sheep are light clippor*. 'iiie big .sheep referred to cut 81b. The question of whether this# is an adequate return for the amount of food consumed is v hat I am endeavouring to prove. If size, with propqrtinate weightof wool, can bo got, that .would be one point in favour of big slie-ej). The. model*-, ate sized -e-wes should produce a greater iiumber of lambs for the-'feed consTsniad. Suppcce, for example, 50 acres; carry 100 big- ewes, producing ICO r per cent, lambs, equal to 100 lamb.?, prodiicing 81b wool per had, equal to 8001b:! wool ; 50 acres carry 120 moderate ewes, 'producing 100 per cent, lambs, equal to 12C lambs, producing wool per head, equal to 90tilb wool. That would ba 20 lambs and iOOlb of wool in favour of the .smaller sheep. I do not. uphold figures as correct; I merely give them as- a suggestion, so that every breedder can think the matter .over for himself. For my own part-, I have never put a rheep out of a flock for being too big, but have put on many very Jjig sheep for not. carrying enough wool." ,
