Park and Sweet Grass Lambs Bring Good Price
The impending tariff bill may have lowered Montana wool prices but lamb prices remain strong with buyers active. Lambs averaging about 70 pounds and priced at five cents per pound could net $3.50 per head for March lambs as buyers like O B Parham of Billings continue purchases across Park County. Parham has bought thousands of sheep from local owners, including S O N C Brady and Louis Wirak Howie, with deliveries set for October 1 and feeding arrangements arranged locally.
