Prospective Changes in Animal Husbandry in the Eastern States

Connecticut Agricultural College

Abstract

It is rather difficult to forecast with a reasonable degree of accuracy, prospective changes in Animal Production in the East, possibly more so than in other sections of our country. My statements will be based very largely upon observation rather than on statistical data. The Northeastern States are still reported as on the down grade in sheep population, which is probably correct, although sheep are more largely in the hands of progressive breeders than in the comparatively recent past. Interest in better methods and better breeding has developed.

Sheep meetings have been well attended; state officials have rather definitely gotten behind sheep work in four of the six New England states; effective sheep work is being done by most of the Colleges, and my slant, as one of our agricultural editors would say, is that sheep are on the up grade.
