Texas Wool And Slaughter Cattle Strong Amid Mohair Slump
Texas ranchers produced 52.4 million pounds of wool and 13.9 million pounds of mohair in 1949, sharply down from 1948. Wool value averaged 56 cents per pound totaling about 29.35 million dollars while mohair averaged 47 cents per pound at about 6.54 million. Early Texas lamb crops expand though a mid March cold spell threatens gains. Capital Livestock Auction reports varied cattle and hog prices with numerous listed buyers and weights from several Texas towns.
