In judging the ewes for starting the flock the following things should be kept, in mind: size and conformity should be kept i:i mind so that strong, robust, lambs can be raised. A good constitution is indicated by bread conformation, full heart, girth, straight back and plenty of length and body room for feed and vital organs. Short, dumpy ewes should be thrown out. Strong, healthy ewes should bo selected. Health is indicated by a deep pink skin except in the case of the Hampshire which sometimes has a blue skin, by nn alert carriage, bright eyes and a fleece that has life and i< elastic to the touch. Young ewe s should b? select :<1 and kept, as old cvves have para ;tte - and annoy. Ewes under four years of age should be! selected. Age can i>e determined by the mouth.
