SHEEP THE MOST PAYING ANIMAL 



By George W. Grim, Fremont, Indiana 



I think that sheep are the most paying animals that the farmer 

 can have on the farm as they eat weeds and sprouts and keep 

 down most foul weeds. A good bunch of ewes make money. 



The sale of wool comes in the spring when most farmers 

 are short of change, with a good bunch of lambs to sell 

 later on and the old sheep are left. I would not be without 

 a good bunch of ewes on my farm.
