An article on the Suffolk breed of sheep by S. R. Sherwood, covering its appearance, origin from Norfolk ewes crossed with Southdown rams, and recognition as a pure breed. It reviews the breed's record in Smithfield Club carcass competitions, flock registration, sale prices, and spread to Scotland, Ireland and overseas. It includes expert opinions on the fleece (56's Bradford count, suited to hosiery), fleece weights, and a detailed account of flock management, mating, lambing and feeding through the year. Two photographs show Suffolk ewe tegs.
