Heat to boiling point and cook for five minutes- Are Abiding This Season By BOB CAIRNS Special To Horald More than 100 years ago, back in the 1870’s, shepherds watched their flocks by night on hillsides in North Carolina. “We were a hungry, underclothed state, trying to feed and clothe ourselves follow ing the Civil War, and sheep were a very important commodi ty,” says Dr. Lemuel Goode, a North Carolina State University animal scientist. This Christmas, sheep farming and shepherding still exist in North Carolina but on a limited basis, Goode said. “In the 1870’s, there were about 278,000 sheep in the state. Today, there are only around 7,500,” Goode noted. ‘The flocks are small now and scat tered in counties from the Ap palachians to the seacoast.” According to Goode sheep are being raised in Alleghany, Ashe, Watauga, Buncombe and Haywood Counties in the Ap palachians and in Forsyth, Guilford and Alamance Coun ties in the Piedmont. Some sheep are also being raised in Pas quotank and Chowan Counties in the east. These wool bearing animals are best suited to the cooler climates found in our Ap palachians,” Goode said. ‘The heat and humidity in the eastern and central part of our state make a come-back for sheep far ming doubtful in North Carolina.” He explained that the natural competition of sheep with the state’s cattle for grazing lands has resulted in farmers replacing sheep with cattle as a major livestock enterprise. “Sheep, like everything else, have become more expensive to raise,” Goode said, “and of course the increases are being reflected in the price of our lamb.” According to Goode, North Carolinians who enjoy lamb -along with turkey - at Christmas, might fight inflation by purchasing their meat in quantity from a North Carolina sheep farmer. “A 50 or 60 pound lamb can be purchased dressed for about $1J0 to $1.50 a pound,” he noted. Today the state’s flocks have diminished and shepherding has been replaced by electric fencing, but if a North Carolinian has a taste for some lamb chops for Christmas dinner, they’re still available - right here in North Carolina. stirring constantly.
