Smaller Lamb Crop in State
Helena reports the 1932 Montana lamb crop at 2 356 000 head, 18 percent below 1931 and 5 percent under 1930, due to poor lambing weather and more dry ewes. Ranges are good to very good, hay prospects look strong, and buyers have contracted few lambs so far. Montana remains second in national lamb crop, trailing Texas.

Farm Prices Make Steady Advances
The Department of Agriculture reports an improved agricultural outlook with a leveling of price declines. From June 15 to July 15 farm price indices rose five points due to higher hog, cattle, cotton and major crop prices, the strongest one month gain since 1929. Marquis notes hog price gains could aid the corn belt, while reduced pig and lamb crops and tighter meat and egg stocks signal lower future surpluses alongside a projected downward trend in western sheep and wool outputs.
