What reading level is British Breeds of Livestock book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Suffolk breed was formed over 100 years ago by crossing ewes of the Blackface Norfolk Horned Mountain breed with Southdown rams. They were first known as Southdown Norfolks and as Blackfaces. In 1859, when classes were opened for them at the Suffolk Agricultural Associations Shows, they were called Suffolks. About, or a little before, this time, a successful effort was made to establish the Suffolk as a distinct breed ; although some pure-bred flocks of the present day date back to 1790.
Un...iformity is gradually being secured ; but for a long time the flocks of the eastern districts took more after the old Norfolk type with their dark faces, light bone, and active habits. Those to the west, on -better land, had lighter faces and greater aptitude in fattening. The breed has made rapid strides since 1886, when it secured breed classes at the Royal Agricultural Society's Show and the Suffolk Sheep Society was established.
Characteristics of the Breed. — The following are the distinguish- ing- characteristics selected from the points of the breed adopted by the Society ; — Head hornless ; face black and long, and muzzle moderately fine, especially in ewes (a small quantity of clean, white wool on the forehead not objected to), ears medium in length, black, and of fine texture.
