Fall Marketings Trimmed by Drought and Feed Conditions
District reports say fall marketings are smaller than last year and prior drought years. Favorable feed and moisture have kept stockmen from selling breeding stock while restocking locally. Sheep are in very good condition with heavy lamb weights and ample winter feeds. Many ewe lambs are kept for replacements or sold as breeding stock, while out of state marketings are down. Montana feeding areas expect a decrease in fattened animals for later market.
