Wool Market at Billings Sets Record Year
Billings again dominates as the world’s premier primary wool market with nearly 11,000,000 pounds shipped this year, beating last season by about 1,000,000. Prices remained strong though 25-cent wool was scarce, and the market benefited from high-quality clips and notable sales while futures and next year’s output generate local debate.
