Wool consumption in the United States rose sharply over the six months, about 14 percent above the previous lag period. Record wool shorn and high sheep numbers mark the year, with 4,103,000 sheep shorn and 9,125,533 lambs slaughtered in the half year, while wool yield per sheep averaged 7.90 pounds. Efforts seek government action on clipping and movement of wool clips amid wartime constraints.
The article discusses higher wool prices during the past selling season and the impact of a 19 to 15 percent increase on overall value.
