Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A nineteenth-century periodical article, number five in a series on sheep types, about the American Merino as a fine-wool breed. It argues that American breeders have improved the Merino beyond its European stock in carcass size, fleece weight and cleansed-wool yield. It also notes the breed's growing value for mutton and cites 1878 measurements of wool fiber diameter made by Dr. H. A. Cutting for the Vermont Merino Sheep Breeders' Association.
