MUTTON SHEEP. 



SCORE CARD. 



FAT. 



Study the score card and use it in the scoring of several animals 

 until you become familiar with all its parts and the relation they bear 

 to each other and to the live sheep. 



Method of Examination. On account of the length of the 

 fleece it will be necessary to carefully handle every part of the sheep 

 to determine its form, quality, and condition. Moreover, all exhib- 

 itors practice trimming to give their animals a smoother and more 

 attractive appearance than they would have otherwise and thereby 

 are able to cover up many defects of form, and, in case the wool is 

 long enough, can give their sheep almost any shape desired.
