Montana sheep outlook brightens as market improves
An analysis of Montana farming shows improving agricultural conditions with the sheep industry leading the recovery. Wheat and cattle marketing boost overall tone, while lamb prices are expected around 38 dollars and ewe purchases rise as breeders are imported to rebuild flocks. Farmers seek to replace lambs with breeding ewes for a larger next spring lamb and wool crop. Local optimism grows as many farmers settle debts and plan livestock purchases despite some hard-hit areas.
