Western sheep feeding drops statewide says Gale Farr
W J Farr of Gale and Farr, based in Greeley Colorado, reports a sharp drop in sheep and lambs on feed west of the Mississippi. Northern Colorado and Nebraska show the largest declines, with fewer than half the prior year’s stock.

Prices to break even require Chicago at 7.50 per cwt, with lambs costing 5.00 to 5.50 at loading stations.
