Pure Saxon Merino Rams

Pure Saxon Merino rams, exhibited at Breslau, 1869. 'At the great exhibition of sheep from all parts of the Continent, held at Breslau, in Silesia, on the 10th and 11th May, more than two hundred lots of sheep were exhibited, particularly from Silesia, Saxony, and Bohemia, all the best breeding establishments being represented. Every variety of breed was shown in full fleeces, and the merits and demerits of the different systems of breeding could be compared. Upon the occasion of former great shows at Battersea, Hamburg, and Dresden, we gave some Illustrations of the rams of the famous pure Saxon Merino blood, which are bred by Mr. Adolphus Steiger, of Leutewitz, near Dresden; and by Mr. Robert Gadegast, of Thal, near Oschatz, in Saxony. We again find that this beautiful stock is still producing noble representatives of the famous "golden fleece." They have been introduced in Australia with great success'.
