A Spooner Sheep Day briefing reported demand for wool has revived especially for medium and short coarse wools while large in storage abroad limits price gains. Dick Boniface of North Central Wool Marketing cited 900,000 bales in Australian stockpiles and strong foreign holdings tempering U.S. price upticks.

Low Lamb Prices Persist Amid Concentrated Packers
Lamb prices stay depressed as a few large packers control the market. Wisconsin remains a lamb surplus state but must ship to deficit states as plants within 400 miles supply slaughter capacity. Seasonal peaks in April and September drive price dips, with 97 percent of U S sheep and lamb slaughter in the 20 largest plants.
