Description: To improve domestic flocks, sheep and other livestock could be imported from countries whose breeds might have more desirable traits. Animals would often be brought over on large cargo ships like the one photographed here by Joe Munroe, 1960. With advancements in technology, it is no longer necessary to import live animals; instead, embryos and semen can be stored and shipped at below-freezing temperatures and cross-bred with domestic stock.
