Pair Outlook For Sheep Sheep Producers See Stable Prices
The midsummer sheep and wool outlook from the Bureau of Agriculture predicts steady wool demand and possible foreign gains. Lamb marketings should stay near 1928–29 levels over the next ten months, with high feeder lamb demand this fall potentially lowering feeder profits, while cattle, calf, and hog slaughter remains limited for the near term. Over three years, rising cattle and hog slaughter may press prices, but current breeding flocks appear sufficient to meet disposal at recent price levels.
