Good Shepherding Pays 
Mark J. Smith 
N OT long ago a producer of market 
lambs said to me, “Another year I 
am going to give every breeding ewe in 
the flock a number, at shearing time I am 
going to check up on each ewe and those 
that are not producers and up to standard 
will go.” 
This practice is in keeping with the 
times. Present current prices of all items 
entering into the cost of production 
renders dry ewes, ewes with poor con¬ 
stitutions, light-shearing ewes and all 
sheep without capacity for raising prime 
market lambs especially unprofitable 
and their presence in the flock reduces 
the average production to a greater extent 
than often realized. 
The comparative profitableness of two 
flocks of sheep depends, not so much on 
total income as on the amount of the 
balance above the cost of production—a 
comparison of these amounts will reveal 
the reason why one sheep owner has more 
money in his pocket than another—w’hen 
to casual on-lookers one of the flocks was 
only a little better than the other. 
Considerable Difference in Flocks 
i The significance of this is brought out 
in this way—take two flocks of sheep of 
thirty ewes each. The select, well-cared 
flock raises thirty lambs which bring 
$9.00 each or $270.00. They shear an 
average of eight pounds per head which 
at forty cents a pound is $96.00, a total 
income of $366.00. Another flock of 
ewes of the same number indifferent in 
quality and carelessly cared for raises a 
70 per cent lamb crop or twenty-one nine- 
dollar lambs bringing $189.00 and shears 
six pounds of wool per head bringing at 
the conservative price of forty cents a 
pound $72.00 —a total income of $261.00. 
If we use $5.00 as the cost of running a 
sheep a year—and many figures are above 
this—it makes the total cost of produc¬ 
tion $150.00. The most interesting and 
somewhat unexpected fact is brought out 
when this sum is taken from the total 
income in both eases. While the ordinary 
•bunch raised 70 per cent as many lambs 
as the select bunch and sheared 75 per 
cent, as much wool, the owner of the 
select, bunch has practically twice as 
much money in his pocket in the form 
of balance above cost of production as the 
owner of the fair to middling flock or bal¬ 
ances of $216.00 and $111.00 respectively. 
Therefore it is obvious that to-day 
more than ever attention to details' and 
painstaking shepherding pays with our 
farm flocks. 
* * * 
The old ewe has wonderful productive 
capacity—in good times and bad she 
goes on eating grass and hay and a little 
grain if she can get it—raises her one or 
two lambs a year and every day is grow¬ 
ing wool, one of the nations deficits, to 
help pay the taxes and the overhead. 
Why Lancaster County Leads 
{Continued from page 101) 
as has this one. Naturally, we think- 
first of the farmers themselves when we 
are looking for the reasons why Lancaster 
County should stand so well as a farming 
community; and they are good men; but 
they have some methods that are rather 
peculiar to them. 
For one thing, and it probably one of 
the greatest reasons why this county 
excels in growing crops, the farmers there 
use great quantities of commercial fer¬ 
tilizer. True, they make much of the 
barnyard manure their stock produces; 
but on top of all that it uses probably 
twice as much commercial fertilizer as 
any other county in the United States. 
Of course, with their free use of fer¬ 
tilizer the farmers of the County in 
question made use of the best possible 
methods they could; they reduced their 
cost of production all they could and they 
adopted good marketing plans. And in all 
these respects farmers everywhere may 
well take pattern after them.—E. L. 
i Vincent, New York.
