Starting with and selecting the right breeding stock will go a long way towards ensuring a successful sheep enterprise, no matter what the production emphasis is or where the farm or ranch is located. Breed selection is discussed in the Breed Selection chapter. It is very important that the appropriate breed(s) or type(s) be chosen and that they be well-adapted to the environment and production system in which they will be raised. It is almost always better to upgrade local breeds or stock than to introduce new breeds or genetics that may not be adapted to the local environment or producton system. Most sheep selection is based on visual appraisal. Unfortunately, you can't tell much about the future productivity of an animal simply by looking at it. Ideally,sheep selection should be a combination of visual appraisal and evaluation of performance records. ========================= chairs | office chairs
