What reading level is Productive Sheep Husbandry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Because of their lighter weight at maturity, Cheviots have an advantage as mutton in the American markets (Fig. 100). Cheviot ewes are prolific and, although somewhat nervous, are excellent mothers. The lambs are so vigorous that they seldom chill and die when born out of doors in stormy weather. They grow at a fairly rapid rate, but they do not attain weight and finish as fast as som^e of the Do^vn breeds. In England and Scotland, aged Cheviot ewes are taken from the hills to the lowlands, whe...re feed is more abundant and here they are bred to Border Leicester or Lincoln rams. The resulting half- breds are very popular, both as a lamb-mutton product and also as a breeding ewe to be bred to rams of the same breed as the sire ; or half-bred ewes may be bred to g. half-bred rams. The half-bred ' , ,/ is appreciated to such extent that a class is made for it at the annual show of the Highland Agricultural Society of Scot- land. Oxford rams are also favorably regarded for crossing on Cheviot ewes brought out of the hills to the lowland country.
