Page 337 - ... fatten, yet, in such cases, it is of importance that the pelvis of the female should be wide and capacious, so that no injury should arise in lambing, in consequence of the increased size of the heads of the lambs. The shape of the ram's head should be studied for the same reason. In crossing, however, for the purpose of establishing a new breed, the size of the male must give way to other more important considerations ; although it will still be desirable to use a large female of the breed which...

Thus the back, loins, hind-quarters, general shape, skin, and size, follow one parent ; and the fore-quarters, head, vital and nervous system, the other: and we may go so far as to add, that the former in the great majority of cases go with the male parent, and the latter with the female.

That size is governed more by the male parent, there is no great difficulty in showing; familiar examples may be found in the offspring of the pony-mare and the full-sized horse, which considerably exceed the dam in size. Again, in the first cross between the small indigenous ewe and the large ram of another improved breed — the offspring is found...

Page 337 - Although the benefits are most evident in the first cross, after which, from pairing the cross-bred animals, the defects of one breed or the other, or the incongruities of both, are perpetually breaking out, yet, unless the characteristics and conformation of the two breeds are altogether averse to each other, nature opposes no barrier to their successful admixture ; so that, in the course of time, by the aid of selection and careful weeding, it is practicable to establish a new breed altogether....

Its friends observe with great force, that when we have in breeding reached great excellence, it is folly to risk the loss of such excellence by means of crossing ; and the more so as the defects of a parent may disappear in a first or second, and reappear in the third or fourth generation ; " breeding back
