| contents | Roles, Titles and Opinions of Selected State Extension Sheep Specialists, A Partial Summary of a Nationwide Survey. A Research Summary of a Graduate Study. Kazzal, Najeeb T. And Others Agricultural Occupations Data Collection Extension Agents National Surveys Occupational Information Professional Personnel Rural Extension Specialists Statistical Data This survey-type study had the following purposes: (1) to consider the sheep and Extension sheep situation and trends in the nation; (2) to gather information regarding titles and duties of sheep specialists; (3) to collect copies of available job descriptions; and (4) to identify some reasons why sheep numbers have continued to decline. Twenty-five state Extension sheep specialists were contacted by mail questionnaires. At least some information was returned by those in 23 states. Responses to all items were given by 16 state specialists. Other data were secured by means of library research, personal letters, and interviews. The numbers of sheep in the states studied and in the United States had decreased rapidly since 1900. However, the degree of the decrease was seen to have varied from state to state. Study findings showed that Extension Animal Science Specialist, Extension Livestock Specialist, and Extension Sheep (or Wool) Specialist were, in that order, the most frequently mentioned titles of specialists. Only three states (Kansas, Tennessee, and Wyoming) provided job descriptions. These descriptions are provided in an appendix to this report. The questionnaire data are provided in 13 tables.
