Sheep at Bathurst Experimental Farm. 



R. W. PEACOCK. 



The following notes are supplementary of others upon this sul^ject, and give 

 the average weights of the fleeces of the various crosses for 1907. The 

 actual weights represent thirteen months' wool ; weights equivalent to twelve 

 months' growth are given. 



Merino Ram. 8-tooth. 



Owing to the very dry weather of the spring, the wool was ^■ery dirty, 

 especially the backs, they containing a large proportion of dust from the 

 roads. Fully 1 lb. each should be deducted for this. 



The photographs shown give some idea of the rams used for crossing 

 purposes, and also of the progeny. The rams were purchased from reputable 

 breeders, and are typical of the breeds. They appear in Hock condition, 

 nothing being done to improve their appearance.
