Synopsis
Excerpt from Beef, Mutton, and Wool: A Practical Handbook on Meat and Wool Production for the Australian Farmer
The opening chapter on Sheep Breeding is quite unique, in that the principles of breeding are laid so bare and plain, and yet on such sound and scientific lines that the ordinary man will better understand the inner meaning of breeding, and thereby be encouraged in his work and have a fresh interest in that all important subject.

Beef, Mutton, and Wool (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book assembles knowledge derived from the author's own experience alongside scientific research on stock-raising and meat production. It was originally conceived to help Australian servicemen take up farming following World War I, and today it remains a practical handbook for farmers looking to improve their meat and wool production. The author discusses the philosophy and science behind animal breeding, noting that excellence in one generation is no guarantee of it in the next. They emphasize the importance of building on the best traits of any given stock through careful mating practices. The idea of blending, in which the traits of two breeds are combined, is contrasted with dominance, in which one set of traits prevails over another when breeding different species. Most importantly, the author advocates patience and attention to detail, and provides a wealth of data and suggested food rations to aid farmers in their pursuit of quality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332221028_0
