New Mexico Sheep Growers Thrive Under Dry Farming Growth
Five years after a Santa Fe Central Railway line cut Estancia valley sheep country into settlements, dry farming proves viable with 15 inches of rainfall supporting corn sorghum and other crops without irrigation. New settlers from the East bring capital and optimism, asserting land values and cattle operations will adapt as old ranges face encroachment. Prominent figures like Mr. Luna, a leading New Mexico sheep owner, report strong lamb and wool markets, with lambs averaging 60 to 62 pounds and prices around 4.75 to 5.15 dollars per head, while overall New Mexico sheep numbers exceed five million.
