PROGRESSIVE SHEEP RAISING 



ROMNEY MARSH or KENT Long-wool breed, but not so 

 well known as many of the other long-wool breeds. This breed is 

 adapted more to lowlands, and is said to resist especially the foot 

 rot so rornmon among most breeds when grazing wet lands The 

 wool is long and soft and the yield high. It ranks well as a mutton 

 type. Romney Marsh Association, Mark Havenhill, Ames, Iowa. 



CORRIEDALE May be classed as a long-wool breed. Was 

 developed in New Zealand from the Lincoln-Merino crosses, and is 

 intermediate between these two types. Smaller than the Lincoln 

 and larger than the Merino. The wool is long and silky. Has 

 great promise as a dual purpose sheep. American Corriedale 

 Association, M. R. Johnston, Secretary, Wheatland, Wyoming.
