Drought Cuts U S Sheep Production in 1935 Outlook
Federal market news reports a sharp curtailment in sheep numbers due to the 1935 drought. A small lamb crop and reduced cattle and hog production forecast higher meat prices, with the 1935 wool clip likely the smallest in years and range conditions at record lows. The lamb crop in 1934 rose slightly but slaughter may increase as feeder demand drops.

Fence Drift and Wool Market Outlook for 1934
A note from the Washington committee calls for an investigation of Domes, referencing AAA corn-hog concerns. The fall and winter feed outlook in western states is unfavorable with short hay and scarce stock water. Lamb marketing from Aug 1 onward may fall below average, and feeder lamb demand could shrink this fall and winter. Domestic wool prices likely remain depressed as European markets stay weak, though U.S. wool supplies should stay adequate for several months.
