Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sheep-Raising in British Columbia The big-horn or mountain sheep is one of our Provincial emblems, appearing on the coat of arms of British Columbia. Domestic sheep-raising, however, has not yet been given the attention it deserves. The census of 1920 shows only 46,473 sheep in this Province of over 300,000 square miles. While the raising of cattle, horses, and hogs has steadily increased, the sheep industry has lagged behind until recently, notwithstanding the fact that most of our agricultural land is eminently suitable, and a good proportion of it more suitable for sheep-raising than for any other line of industry. The foundation of the sheep industry in British Columbia was the first flock brought in from California by the Hudson´s Bay Company in the early part of the nineteenth century. These sheep were first kept at Fort Nisqually, near what is now the City of Tacoina, Washington. On the establishment of a Hudson´s Bay post at Victoria in 1943, sheep were brought from Fort Nisqually to stock the company´s farm. In the year 1846, when the International Boundary-line settlement placed Fort Nisqually in the I nilod States, the flocks there were disiersed to form the foundation for the present large sheep industry in Oregon and Washington. In 1849 the (locks numbered several hundred head on what is now the site of Victoria. Well-bred rams were imported from Great Britain round Cape Horn. These sheep had to be guarded by armed Indian shepherds and corralled at night. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
