A short 1882 article from The Breeder's Gazette on the Oxford Down breed of sheep. It covers the breed's origin in Oxfordshire around 1830 from a Cotswold ram and Hampshire Down ewe, its physical points, fleece, fattening, hardiness and suitability for American conditions. It also profiles the ram Freeland, owned by Cooper, Maddux & Co. of Oxford Park, Reading, Ohio. It concerns sheep husbandry rather than textiles or weaving.
