Excerpt from Beef, Mutton, and Wool: A Practical Handbook on Meat and Wool Production for the Australian Farmer
The opening chapter on Sheep Breeding is quite unique, in that the principles of breeding are laid so bare and plain, and yet on such sound and scientific lines that the ordinary man will better understand the inner meaning of breeding, and thereby be encouraged in his work and have a fresh interest in that all important subject.

Excerpt from Beef, Mutton, and Wool: A Practical Handbook on Meat and Wool Production for the Australian Farmer
In writing a short foreword to my old student and friend, Lieut. Stanley Kelly's excellent work entitled "Beef, Mutton and Wool," I feel sure that I will be voicing the mind of all readers of this little book when I make the only reasonable adverse criticism that can be made, viz.: that the author has not given us enough of that knowledge which he has gained from a lifelong experience on the farm, together with the unique advantages he had while convalescing in the Old Country after being wounded in the great war, to which he had gone as a soldier. This is the more regrettable, because the writer has demonstrated that he not only possesses the requisite knowledge to write a book, but has a ready and easy pen, and is able to put his theories and facts in such a way that "he who runs may read."
The opening chapter on Sheep Breeding is quite unique, in that the principles of breeding are laid so bare and plain, and yet on such sound and scientific lines that the ordinary man will better understand the inner meaning of breeding, and thereby be encouraged in his work and have a fresh interest in that all important subject.
The writer of this book does not suggest that as a result of reading his work farmers will become experts in the varied branches of Beef, Mutton and Wool production, but rather is his idea to give help along lines which are badly needed; and if, as a result of reading this little work, farmers and those interested receive that stimulus and encouragement which are so necessary to-day when increased production may almost be said to be the salvation of the economic world, then the writer will, I know, be amply repaid.
I can only express the hope that in the near future Australian farmers will have the further pleasure of reading another and larger book, written in the same plain and practical way by Mr Kelly.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book assembles knowledge derived from the author's own experience alongside scientific research on stock-raising and meat production. It was originally conceived to help Australian servicemen take up farming following World War I, and today it remains a practical handbook for farmers looking to improve their meat and wool production. The author discusses the philosophy and science behind animal breeding, noting that excellence in one generation is no guarantee of it in the next. They emphasize the importance of building on the best traits of any given stock through careful mating practices. The idea of blending, in which the traits of two breeds are combined, is contrasted with dominance, in which one set of traits prevails over another when breeding different species. Most importantly, the author advocates patience and attention to detail, and provides a wealth of data and suggested food rations to aid farmers in their pursuit of quality.
