  • The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain
    The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain </. C. Greig and A. B. Cooper Primitive breeds of sheep and goats, such as the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, could be in danger of disappearing with the present rapid decline in pastoral farming. The authors, both members of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources in Edinburgh University, point out that, quite apart from their historical and cultural interest, these breeds have an important part to play in modern livestock breeding, which needs a constant infusion of new genes from unimproved breeds to get the benefits of hybrid vigour. Moreover these primitive breeds are able to use the poor land and live in the harsh environment which no modern hybrid sheep can stand. Recent work on primitive breeds of sheep and goats in Scotland has drawn attention not only to the necessity for conserving them, but also to the fact that there is no organisation taking a direct scientific in- terest in them. Primitive livestock strains are the jetsam of the Agricul- tural Revolution, and they tend to survive in Europe's peripheral regions. The sheep breeds are the best examples, such as the sheep of Ushant, off the Brittany coast, the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, the Shetland sheep, the Soay sheep of St Kilda, and the Manx Loaghtan breed. Presumably all have survived because of their isolation in these remote and usually infertile areas. A 'primitive breed' is a livestock breed which has remained relatively unchanged through the last 200 years of modern animal-breeding techniques. The word 'primitive' is perhaps unfortunate, since it implies qualities which are obsolete or undeveloped.

  • Ewe Lamb in the Local Village Show Where Most of the Exhibits Were Taken from the Fields on the Day of the Show
    Cotswold Sheep Society Newsletter Registered Charity No. 1013326 ` Autumn 2011 Hampton Rise, 1 High Street, Meysey Hampton, Gloucestershire, GL7 5JW [email protected] www.cotswoldsheepsociety.co.uk Council Officers Chairman – Mr. Richard Mumford Vice-Chairman – Mr. Thomas Jackson Secretary - Mrs. Lucinda Foster Treasurer- Mrs. Lynne Parkes Council Members Mrs. M. Pursch, Mrs. C. Cunningham, The Hon. Mrs. A. Reid, Mr. R Leach, Mr. D. Cross. Mr. S. Parkes, Ms. D. Stanhope Editors –John Flanders, The Hon. Mrs. Angela Reid Pat Quinn and Joe Henson discussing the finer points of……….? EDITORIAL It seems not very long ago when I penned the last editorial, but as they say time marches on and we are already into Autumn, certainly down here in Wales the trees have shed many of their leaves, in fact some began in early September. In this edition I am delighted that Joe Henson has agreed to update his 1998 article on the Bemborough Flock and in particular his work with the establishment to the RBST. It really is fascinating reading and although I have been a member of the Society since 1996 I have learnt a huge amount particularly as one of my rams comes from the RASE flock and Joe‟s article fills in a number of gaps in my knowledge. As you will see in the AGM Report, Pat Quinn has stepped down as President and Robert Boodle has taken over that position with Judy Wilkie becoming Vice President. On a personal basis, I would like to thank Pat Quinn for her willing help in supplying articles for the Newsletter and the appointment of Judy Wilkie is a fitting tribute to someone who has worked tirelessly over many years for the Society – thank you and well done to you both.

  • 2012 June Newsletter
    Cotswold Sheep Society Newsletter Registered Charity No. 1013326 June 2012 Hampton Rise, 1 High Street, Meysey Hampton, Gloucestershire, GL7 5JW Tel.: 01285 851197 [email protected] www.cotswoldsheepsociety.co.uk Council Officers Chairman – Mr. Richard Mumford Vice-Chairman – Mr. Thomas Jackson Secretary - Mrs. Lucinda Foster Treasurer- Mrs. Lynne Parkes Council Members Mrs. M. Pursch, Mrs. C. Cunningham, The Hon. Mrs. A. Reid, Mr. R Leach, Mr. D. Cross, Mr. S. Parkes, Ms. D. Stanhope Editors John Flanders, The Hon. Mrs. Angela Reid Spring at Cwmcrwth Farm (Towy Flock) EDITORIAL John Flanders This edition of the Newsletter contains a number of reminders of events that Council have organised and members are encouraged to support them. Council, in preparing a programme for the year, endeavours to provide subjects that meet the interests of all members, but if there is no support the question has to be asked whether there is any point in having these events. On a lighter note, I am delighted that Rob and Fiona Park have written about their flock of Cotswolds; it is always good to have a few more breeders in Wales. They also produce bacon and pork from the Oxford Sandy and Black rare breed pigs and I can vouch how tasty it is (mail order is available I understand). Sadly, despite my request in the last Newsletter, no one else has come forward to join Judy and me in The View From Here; similarly having tried to have a Young Handlers Section no contributions have been forthcoming. This year Davina Stanhope, Richard Mumford and Robin Leach are standing down from Council and I am grateful for the work that they have all put in on behalf of the Society.

Two girls holding Leicester Longwool lambs We love and care for animals. They are useful partners and good companions. 5. Milking Devon cow standing beside woods Farm animals are important in two ways. First, they provide food for people to eat. Cows, for example, produce milk. 6. Hen on nest with eggs Chickens lay eggs. 7. Eggs from chicken, duck, goose, and turkey in an egg carton Ducks, geese, and turkeys lay eggs too. All of these eggs are good to eat. 8. New Hampshire rooster looking for food in the grass Farm animals are also important because of the jobs they can do. Chickens, for example, eat weeds, insects, and other pests. 9. Two Guinea Hogs in a pasture, with small turkeys in the background Pigs are recyclers, eating many different foods – such as acorns, insects, roots, mice, kitchen scraps, fruit, and sour milk. Pigs eat small snakes too. Not so long ago, people would have a pig in the yard to keep snakes away! 10. Pigs in garden space A pig’s nose is called a snout. Pigs use their snouts for digging up roots or “rooting.” These pigs have been put into a garden after harvest to dig up roots, eat insects, and turn the soil for spring planting.

  • Naile Breeds Listing
    NAILE BREEDS LISTING The North American Livestock Exposition displays many breeds of animals. Below you will find a list of breeds that are represented during the exposition. While most people in the livestock industry seem to be striving for the perfect animals, perfection is probably not quite possible today. There are so many different breeds of beef cattle and dairy cattle and swine for a variety of reasons. Different characteristics are preferred in different climates and geographic areas, for example. Human preferences for animal characteristics differ, too. Some farmers may prefer to raise leaner beef cattle to meet the demands of a specific market. Each breed has its own particular characteristics, and shows at the North American usually judge an animal against others in the same breed. The Department of Animal Science at Oklahoma State University have developed areas on their Website to give further information and a brief history of many of these breeds, plus much additional information on livestock. (www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds) BEEF CATTLE Beef cattle are divided into shows by breed, which are co-sponsored by their breed association. Cattle are judged for breeding characteristics that vary from one beef breed to another. Overall quality and health are also very important. In a funny way, beef cattle competition is similar to human body building competition. Judges look for muscle development and minimal fat. Size is important, but extreme body characteristics are not usually favored. The profitability of the cattle – how much money they are likely to bring at market – is tied into the animal’s efficiency: how effectively it can translate grass and hay into quality meat.
