Care of Sheep
Sheep growers might want to
woim the flock for the last time
this season, if it has not been
done in the past month or so
As the flock moves fiom sum
mer to winter quarters, it is ad
visable to be certain that the in
tci nal parasite problem is elim
inated The individual treating
of each animal is recommended
o\er the salt 01 the feeding
method in order to be sure that
each animal is treated For best
results the ewe flock should be
allowed to have outside exercise
each day during the winter sea
