A short 1864 agricultural report article by D. J. M'Cann of Nebraska City on raising sheep in Nebraska Territory. It covers the region suited to sheep, climate, soil, winter feeding (Hungarian grass, corn, oats), and breed choice, favoring Spanish merino over French merino and coarse wools. It also discusses wool prices, yields per fleece, and the cost of shipping wool east. A plate shows a Southdown ram.
