Classification of Breeds of Sheep. 253 



ters are full and deep with a well-developed leg 

 of mutton. The legs are short and straight, of 

 good sized bone, and set squarely under the body. 

 The skin is of light cherry color and free from dark 

 spots. The fleece when full grown is generally 

 about three inches long and contains considerable 

 yolk. There should be no horns or stubs on a 

 purebred Shropshire, nor should there be any but 

 white wool on its whole body and head.
