Wyoming Again Leads in Wool and Lamb Crops in 1908
Secretary George Walker reports Wyoming will likely again top states in wool production and quality for 1908. He notes Wyoming surpassed Montana in greasy and scoured wool, with an estimated 4,510,800 sheep shorn and a 36 million pound clip. Losses from drought and storms reduced lambs, yet prices improved, and Wyoming growers expect a rebound with favorable conditions and next year’s market.
