WESTERN LAMB BREBDBR’S OPPORTUNITY There. is a possibility that an exâ€" cellent market will deveIOp in East,â€" ern Canada, more particularly in Ontario. for Western lambs for flu- ishing purposes. A trial is being made this year in the feeding of several car-loads of Western range.E lambs by the Swift Canadian Com- pany at 'l‘oronto. Mr. A. A. Mac- )lillan. chiet' of the Sheep Division of the Live Stock Branch at 0t.- tawa. after examining the. lambs be- nu.r fed. found a number of them lacking in desirable mutton con- formation. in being too long in leg. neck and body. Mr. MacMillan drew attention to these observations wnen addressing: the. Saskatchewan Sl’ieep Breeders‘ Association at their an- nual meeting this year. and advised them that a profitable opening is to develop for Western lambs pro- vided they are of the proper mutton it‘vpe. The market. is becoming more Land more discriminating in t'avor lol' \vellâ€"tinishcd lambs weighing not. over one hundred pounds. Not only «lo the shorter legged. thick bodied Hambs finish into a better selling prmluct. but. they incline to easier feeding. .\lr. )lacMillan prophesied a hopeful future for the \Vestern sheep raiser who will give attention to the quality of the stock he is Iahle to turn out.
