Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sheep-Raising in British Columbia
It is to the establishment and increasing of the smaller flocks that we must look for the largest increase in numbers of sheep in the Province. On the rich lowlands of the Lower Fraser Valley now devoted to dairy-ing there are many fine pure-bred and grade flocks, but there is no good reason why sheep should not be kept on our Coast dairy-farms far more extensively than at present. Sheep are just as necessary and profitable on high-priced land as on our rough, cheap lands. In the Interior of the Province (apart from the menace of coyotes, which do much damage) the climate and general conditions are nearly everywhere ideal, for sheep. On the ranches and smaller mixed farms of the Interior, and even in the fruit-growing sections, sheep are proving very profitable in small flocks, well managed. Mutton and wool are bound to be high for years, due to the crowding-out of American range flocks. A small flock of sheep is a good investment at this time.
