THUBSDAt, 1 JUNE 23, IWS VI SHEEP RAISING IN YANCEY COUNTY . (Continued from page 1) making a alow turn upward. Sheep Ht in wall with our small farms. Even on our beef cattle farms a few sheep are profitable grazing with cattle. They are to help keep pastures free from certain weeds and grasses cattle will not eat. Sheep production is one of the very few projects that 100% of the .original investment ja ex pected to be returned the first year. This can be done by new growers too. Another feature of sheep production is the fact that with normal grazing the annual wool crop will pay for winters feeding this leaves the lamb crop clear. Five ewes can be pastured, fed and cared for at /the rate of one beef cow. Nor mally 115 to 150%lamb crop is expected. With present prices as a guide sheep production pro twill double those of beef cat on the same pasture area, n why do not more farmers start growing sheep? First, we do have a dog haz zard. Second, our farms must 'be better fenced. Third, the in dividial farmer must have a de sire to keep sheep and give them attention when needed es pecially during the lambing sea son. With Burley tobacco allot ments cut 25%, farm prices gra dually declining and farmers generally seeking new sources of income to provide a normal livelihood, sheep growing may be the solution. Farmers desiring additional information should contact any of the County Agricultural Wor . kens who are all members of the Yancey County Challenge Pro gram. Since one of the aims of the Challenge Program is to in crease farm iacome on all farms, increased sheep production in Yancey County is recommended by all members of the Challenge Program.
