and young lambs getting squeezed, trampled down, 

 and killed in the rush by the older sheep, and who 

 does nothing to prevent this evil, lacks good judg- 

 ment, and is responsible for any loss incurred in 

 this way. If a shepherd fits sheep and goes into 

 the show ring simply to be there among the other 

 shepherds to keep them company, and if he is 

 not possessed with the strongest desire to win the 

 best prizes offered, he had better stay at home and 

 save money for his employer. 



To make a long story short, a good faithful shep- 

 herd looks to every detail of his work, and has his 

 mind, heart, and soul with his flock at all times. 

 He leaves nothing undone which promotes the 

 thrift and welfare of each individual sheep. He 

 likes to talk with other successful shepherds about 

 sheep and tries to learn the better methods. He 

 is loyal to his employer, and works for his best in- 

 terest and largest profit. His happiest hours are 

 spent among his flock, watching young lambs grow 

 and old ones do well. Some of the greatest men 

 in the Old Testament were true, faithful shepherds.
