He was an enthusiastic breeder of Merino sheep, attaining, in that industry, a world wide reputation. In his efforts for the improvement and exhibition of his flock, he traveled extensively, visiting England, Scotland, Germany, Flanders, France, and Spain, and many states of our own country. He was a spirited exhibitor, his sheep taking the highest honors at State, National and International , as well as local exhibitions. He made frequent and large sales of sheep for shipment to nearly every country on the globe where fine wool is produced, sending a car load from his own flock to Montana but a few weeks before his death.
He was one of the founders, and, for many years, one of the director’s of the State Agricultural Society and vice President of the New England Agricultural Society.

Through a long and very painful illness he retained his interest in public affairs and especially in the improvement of sheep, which was a work of love that ended only with his own death.
