Sheep for Profit

John Eck of Carpenter township is a sheep enthusiast, believing that they will return more clean profit than any other form of livestock. “Last year I had six breeding ewes which I kept on the waste feed of my farm. They produced nine lambs which I sold for SB2 When sixty days old. The wool brought me $32, making a total of sl9 per head, and I still have my original ewes. Mr. Eck expects to embark in the purebred Shropshire business this fall.
