Sheepmen Delay Shearing In Southern Montana
Wet weather has delayed shearing across Southern Montana with crews just starting and little progress. The clipping will be large yet cleaner and lighter, with most of the clip to be consigned as buyers are scarce. Sheepmen plan to shear in June then move to ranges, but range time is later than usual and lambing was poor due to cold wet conditions. Judge Brantley will deliver the presentation speech for a set kept in the capitol vault, likely to be sent to Norfolk, Virginia, though prospects to travel to Great Falls or Helena exist and many eastern Montanans are expected to attend.
