from Agricultural Review of the Year 1922
The shortage of keep last winter, which caused an early marketing of feeding sheep, coupled with the very high prices which have ruled for fat sheep durinig past months has resulted in a reduction in the number of sheep since last year, the total being 13,437,000 or 395,000 less than a year ago. The reduction is, however, confined to sheep other than ewes and lambs, the breeding flock having again increased, though not to the same extent as last year.
