Encyclopedia article on sheep from the New International Encyclopedia (1922), pp. 802-804. It describes sheep and their products, classifies breeds by wool type (long-wooled, medium-wooled, fine-wooled Merino, and unusual types such as Astrakhan and fat-tailed sheep), and covers sheep raising, range management, shearing, feeding, and sheep numbers by country. Two plates illustrate domestic rams and wild sheep, and a bibliography of sheep husbandry works closes the article.
