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
