In 1860, the raising of Merinos sheep was an industry revived around Logan Co. About three-fourths of the sheep in the county are registered or good grade Merinos, which yield a fleece averaging from six to nine pounds in weight. The earliest attempt at improving these native flocks was about 1835. In this year considerable interest was manifested in this enterprise, and the first flock by A.
