KEEP SHEEP ON
SPARETIME FARMS
Sheep fit well into sparetime
farming. Their food and shelter
needs are readily met. Little
equipment is needed.
According to a Pennsylvania
State University correspondence
course on sheep husbandry,
about ninety percent of sheep’s
food are forages pasture in
summer, hay and silage in win
tei all horiiegrown.
Buildings of rough cohstruc
tion give sheep adequate shel
ter. The feed storages need to be
more weathertight than for the
animals. Provide dry fldors and
have the barns face east or south
with ready access to pasture and
exercise lots.
Equipment needs are feed
racks for ewes, creep feeders for
lambs, and watering troughs for
both. Your biggest initial ex
pense may be for fences.
Study the Penn State corres
pondence course to learn more
about sheep. Send your name
