Being a karacul [sic] breeder and herder also means being a book-keeper when it is a one man operation such as Boyd's. At night in his snug trailer, Boyd goes over his books which include not only financial figures, but breeding figures which must be very carefully kept because of the close registry of all karakuls. All American karakul blood lines stem from the 25 ewes and 26 rams imported to this country, after special diplomatic action by President Theodore Roosevelt, in 1909." and "26 L'élevage de caraculs oblige à des travaux d'écriture, quand on est seul à diriger toute l'exploitation. Après le coucher du soleil Boyd s'occupe non seulement de sa comptabilité mais encore des lignages de ses bêtes, don't le pedigree doit être tenu à jour sans bavures. Tous les moutons caracul d'Amérique descendent d'un troupeau initial de 25 brebis et de 26 béliers qui y fut importé en 1909."LanguagefreengPhoto Size7.5 x 9.5 in.Photo Format1 photographic print (b/w)Resource Typestill imageHeld ByPalos Verdes Library District.
