    DescriptionDorset Horn Shearling Ram, bred by W. R. Flower, West Stafford, Dorchester.

    The Dorset Horn breed is on which is most useful in the production of fat lambs, crossbred or otherwise, the ewes being very prolific, heavy milkers, and good mothers. Their ability to breed at almost any season of the year is also a great point in their flavour in the Northern Hemisphere, but is one which hardly applies in New Zealand. The lambs themselves mature very quickly, and if of a merino cross, will give a carcase especially suitable for export, being well balanced, with a great proportion of lean meat and a minimum quantity of fat. English breeders claim that by using the Dorset0Shropshire cross they can put upon the market a greater weight in a shorter time than by using any other cross. It would not pay any farmer to cultivate the breed for wool alone. The idea must be to breed for lambs only, to fatten them as quickly as possible, and then to sell them to the best possible advantage.
