[FOREWORD]"[In] This fourth edition of "British Sheep" (…) [m]ost breeds are supported by a Breed Society, from whom more detailed information can be obtained, and the list of these Societies with their Secretaries addresses is given(…). With over 40 separate pure breeds the number of first crosses runs into the hundreds, and those described in the space of this booklet cannot possibly cover all those that have a following. (…) The meat cheque is far larger than the wool cheque over the whole British sheep industry[.] (….) Definition by type of sheep, such as Hill breeds or Down breeds is satisfactory up to a point, but with some breeds it would not always be easy to decide on the classification. As there is no accepted standard of definition by meat qualities we are left with the impartiality of the alphabet, and the opportunity for each breed to tell its own story in the pages that follow." #Livestock #instabooks #Ram #booksale #Agriculture #CuttleboneBooks #Wool #Rare #Shearing #booksforsale #collectiblebooks #bibliophile #Ewe #BooksBooksBooks #bookcollecting #Lamb #Vintage #Sheep #Bookworm #NationalSheepAssociation #instaread #Antiquarian #BritishSheep #Scarce #SheepBreeds #Bookstagram #WorldSheepPopulation #readersofinstagram #Books
