Montana Wool Industry Thrives Under Tariff Boost
The 1897 tariff aids Montana's wool and mutton sectors, with wool sales around $3 million and total state yield near $4.5 million. The governor’s annual summary cites 3,461,185 sheep as of March 1, 1899, 217,586 moved in since then, and 1,092,972 lambs shorn. The report notes market challenges from rain and a harsh season, inspector appointments, taxation disputes, disease incursions from imports, and overall strong production led by Montana as a leading sheep state with major markets at Great Falls, Billings, and Big Timber.
