The Daily Dispatch: July 19, 1861., [Electronic resource], Destruction of sheep. (search)
Destruction of sheep. --The Rochester (N. Y.) Union says: "The cold rain storm of the 2d inst. proved very destructive to the flocks of the farmers in this and the surrounding counties, particularly in Ontario. The annual shearing of the sheep was postponed on account of the backward season until June, and late in that month. The wool-growers had just taken the fleeces from the sheep, in many instances, when the cold storm came on, and wherever the flocks were exposed they suffered severely. In the town of Victor the farmers lost from five to ten per cent. of their flocks. An extensive wool grower, Mr. Hamlin, of Bloomfield, lost one hundred sheep out of a flock of nine hundred. In most instances the animals died after they had got into comfortable quarters. The storm had chilled them in their nakedness, and vitality thus lost could not be restored."
