Hickman of Kent, England, sent 32 rams to America, which were not well received. At present there are but few of these sheep in the United States. The promotion of Romney Marsh sheep in England is under the supervision of the Kent or Romney Marsh Sheep Breeders' Association, with headquarters in London. This association has published twenty-four volumes of flock books up to 1919. On December 5, 1911, the American Romney Sheep Breeders' Association was organized at Chicago, the late J. E. Wing being its main promoter and its first secretary. This organization up to 1919 had registered but few sheep and published no flock book. Digitized by Microsoft®.
