An article on sheep breeding and wool preparation for South African farmers, written by a flockmaster. It covers the history of the Spanish merino, the original fat-tailed Afrikander sheep and attempts to improve them, and a method of classing and mating stud ewes and rams. It closes with advice on culling the general flock, the points of a good ewe, and the skirting, classing and packing of wool for market, with export figures for 1908 and 1912.
