A 1904 magazine article on the history and practice of pedigree sheep breeding. It traces sheep in ancient and biblical times, the Spanish origin and spread of the merino across Europe, and why Britain rejected the breed. It then covers Robert Bakewell's improvement of mutton sheep and the creation of British breeds such as Southdown, Shropshire and Oxford Down. Illustrations show a pasture and rams of several breeds.
