    ARGENTUM The Art & Literary Magazine of Great Basin College 2019: A Modernistic View of the 1940 s Notes on 2019 Argentum At a 2018 summer wedding, a group of Argentum supporters were left unattended at a guest table during the reception, and the subject of the 2019 theme just happened to come up. From that discussion to this final version, the 1940s theme was set, as was the idea of prizes for the student winners. The most exciting aspect was the work and thought individuals put into their submissions, and we thank all those who submitted sincerely. The publication would not exist without you. As with any publication of this type, the work into making it happen doesn’t happen in a void. Special thanks are made to Angie de Braga, Dr. Josh Webster, Jennifer Bean, Patty Fox, and Ursula Stanton for their efforts in encouraging submissions and helping in every way possible from photographing submissions to reviewing material. We hope you enjoy this issue, and consider submitting to the 2020 issue of the publication. Our website is www.gbcnv.edu/argentum and we can be emailed at [email protected].

While the sheep population has shifted with changing times in agriculture, lamb production remains an active part of Saskatchewan agriculture. Advantages to Raising Sheep The sheep industry lends itself well to a family enterprise. Sheep/lamb production can have a relatively low cost of entry with lower breeding stock costs and the ability to easily adapt existing livestock facili- ties to lamb production. Sheep adapt to various feed stuffs quickly. Sheep/lamb production can economically com- pliment other farming enterprises with environ- mental advantages to multi-species grazing. Noxious weeds and brush can be controlled using sheep in grazing programs. Six sheep can be sustained in the same area as one cow. picture provided by Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan Flock size can be increased quickly due to multiple births and short time to maturity. Producers have the potential to increase lambing percentages and lambs marketed per ewe. Sheep can be raised for meat production, wool or both depending on the breed. Sheep can be raised using a variety of production methods from grass-based to dry lot inten- sive . Sheep and the Environment Multispecies grazing can be used as a tool to accomplish specific grazing management goals. Using two species of animals to graze a pasture can diversify the type of forage utilized, the to- pographic location of preferred grazing areas, and may diversify income sources.
