—Lancaster Farmim 116 Sheep producers receive to be fast. The livestock specialist conducts a number of annual sheep shearing clinics, two of which were held late this week in Cumberland and York Counties. Hosting the bam meeting last Monday were Clyde Brubaker and his family. They keep about 40 brood ewes on their farm along the Harrisburg Pike. The particular animal Morgan used during his demonstration was an exceptionally big Hampshire ewe, weighing over 250 pounds. She had turned a year old in February and Brubaker said she was the biggest ewe they had ever raised. He and his wife have been in the sheep business since 1959 when they started their flock with three brooding ewes. Most of their production is sold for breeding purposes. “It’s a family affair,” Brubaker commented modestly, “we’re all involved in it—the kids are in 4-H.” They manage their flock so that lambings take place both during the Fall and Spring. “The biggest difference to getting Fall lambs is the ram,” Brubaker said, adding that it’s up to the ram to stimulate the ewes. Morgan observed that the Brubakers had their sheep halter-broken, and remarked that he favored showing sheep that way. “They’ve been doing it in England for j ears,” he said. The Extension specialist also had high marks for the exceptionally large ewe he worked on during the afternoon. He noted that she possessed good caalities and a particularly faultless head. He did question, however, the necessity for big ewes, since slaughter houses are not demanding exceptionally big lambs. Most of the demand is for lambs weighing between 95 and 105 pounds, Morgan said. From that he deducted that a ewe of 175 pounds is generally an adequate size. Nevertheless, the fact remained that the 256 pound ewe stood at or near the top of her class at major shows last Fall, including Timonium and Springfield. Mrs. Brubaker pointed out that lambs could nurse much easier when the ewe is more upstanding. Other points made by Morgan touched on vaccination Guernsey club holds auction The highlight of the second Rick Crider, and Connie meeting of the Lancaster Balmer.
