FITTING YEARLING WETHERS AND LAMBS 

 FOR EXHIBITION 



GEO. C. HUMPHREY AND FRANK KLEINHEINZ 



Fitting live stock and showing it at fairs and expositions has 

 become an established custom in countries where improved live 

 stock is maintained. Beginning with the district or county fair, 

 where the show is of local interest, and passing to the larger 

 shows of state, national, and international scope, the fitting and 

 showing of superior types of farm animals is of great value and 

 importance to the live stock industry. It impresses upon the 

 minds of all who see the exhibits a knowledge of the types and 

 breeds of farm animals adapted to various purposes, and dem- 

 onstrates the possibilities in well bred and well selected animals 

 when brought to the very best condition by proper feeding and 

 fitting.
