Excerpt from Modern Sheep: Breeds and Management The cordial reception that "Fitting Sheep for Show Ring and Market" met at the hands of some of the world's greatest flockmasters, shepherds, the agricultural press and sheep breeders generally, was the prime factor inspiring the writing of this work. A wide acquaintance with prominent sheep breeders, fanciers and shepherds of several countries and many years spent in practical pastoral pursuits and in the pastoral journalistic field, has put the writer in possession of information which it is hoped will prove of interest and value to those into whose hands this volume may fall. The author takes great pleasure in acknowledging the assistance rendered him by those gentlemen whose names are mentioned from time to time in the pages of this work, without which it never could have appeared in anything like the complete state in which it is presented. In selecting the illustrations for this work it has been the aim of the writer to use only first class photographs, as drawings of animals are always more or less misleading and consequently disappointing.
