Ewes Deemed Unfit Under FERA Plan Targeted Slaughter in Drought Areas
In Montana drought regions, only ewes entirely unfit for human consumption are slaughtered and disposed of under the FERA program. Stebbins of the Montana Woolgrowers Association reports condemnation rates up to 90 percent in Powder River Prairie and Custer counties, with about 50 percent overall. Carcasses are burned or buried, pelts prepared for tanning, wool pulled for yarn, and feed concerns noted as old ewes threaten scarce forage. The program aims to remove about a tenth of normal wool supply via a 5 million head federal quota, benefiting Montana producers.
