Montana Sheepmen See Early Contracts Benefit Prices
Foulkes of the Foulkes Livestock Commission reports high winter lamb and wool prices led to extensive 1925 contracts in Montana and Wyoming. Most Montana wool clips are under contract at strong prices, while lambs fetch 10 to 12.5 cents for fall delivery. Range conditions are excellent, flock sizes rise toward 3 million, and cattle trade shows renewed activity with prices easing to typical levels.
