Sheep-Farming in North America (Classic Reprint)

American farmers, as a rule, are not prepared to give sheep the attention they will repay, or that is necessary if the possibilities of employing them in the utilization of high-priced lands are to be realized. The range areas devoted to sheep are diminishing, and, as the industry comes to have a more stable position on general farms, the supplies and market prices may be expected to be more uniform than in the past.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
