ANATOMICAL STRUCTUEE OF THE SHEEP. Ill 



A sheep of good breeding has large muscles, especially in 

 the region of the loins, buttock and shoulders, while the head 

 should be lean and small. The flexor and extensor muscles are 

 interlaced with tendonous fibres, and are not so palatable as those 

 from the loins and buttocks. It will be unnecessary to make in- 

 dividual mention of any particular muscle or group of muscle^, 

 the subject would be too vast for a work of this kind, and unin- 

 telligible to the general reader.
