sheep with which the Karakul is some- 
times confused. They are able to pro- 
duce as much fat on weeds and in the 
same length of time as native sheep 
fed on alfalfa and milo maize. See 
tests made by the Hon. John M. Wy- 
att, treasurer of the Panhandle & 
Southwestern Stock Men’s Association, 
vice-president, First National Bank of 
El Paso, Texas. 
The pelts of the lambs of this type, 
which die unavoidably, are worth from 
$4 to $10 each, which, in a season’s 
lambing, is a point worth considering. 
Among those prematurely born, one 
often finds skins of rare value called 
broadtail, baby lamb, unborn lamb, etc., 
often valued at $20 wholesale. The 
ewes are not slaughtered to obtain this 
fur as some dishonest furriers say. 
A S fur producers : They are the only 
sheep which produce valuable fur. 
The dressed skins of the Karakul 
lambs are known on the fur market 
as Persian lamb, Broadtail, Baby Lamb, 
Karakul, Astrakhan, and Krimmer. 
The different grades depend on the 
tightness of curl, lustre, and degree of 
pigmentation. 
The so-called Persian sheep of this 
country is not a fur producing sheep at 
all unless crossed with Karakul rams. 
The name “Persian Lamb” comes from 
the fact that Persians were the first to 
export Karakul skins to Europe. 
A good skin from a lamb two or 
three days old with short hair, tight 
curls and good lustre is worth from $10 
to $20 in wholesale lots. 
Furs with more open curl and less 
lustre sell for prices ranging from $5 
to $10 each. 
A good fur-producing Karakul ram 
will produce lambs with just as, good 
fur when bred to a native coarse-wool 
ewe, which has no fine wool admix- 
ture, as when bred to a Karakul ewe 
free from fine wool. If a Karakul ewe 
has fine wool besides coarse wool, she 
will not produce so good a skin as a 
domestic coarse-wool ewe would if free 
from fine wool. 
Tight pipe-like curl and high lustre 
are what make the fur valuable 
The United States, according 
circular issued by the Department 
Agriculture in 1912, imports $14,000,- 
000 worth of these furs each year. 
There is a big future in raising 
Karakul sheep of either variety for 
breeding stock before any will be 
slaughtered for fur in this country. 
If you want a ram for the produc- 
tion of mutton, almost any good big 
Karakul ram will prove satisfactory 
and you will find your lambs to be 
strong, vigorous, good rustlers and 
quick maturing besides producing As- 
trakhan fur. 
If you want a ram for the produc- 
tion of fur, it is safest to buy only a 
tested ram who has produced progeny 
with the tight curled fur of Persian 
Lamb grade as shown by the accom- 
panying illustration. 
It is important that the native ewes 
used for crossing be free from fine un- 
derwool, and he the coarse-wool class, 
such as Navajos, Mexican Hairy, Cori-
