Large Montana lamb crop boosts Woolgrowers outlook
Murray Stebbins of Helena secret ary of the Woolgrowers association says Montana lambs are unusually numerous this year with light losses and expect high lambing rates to continue if May is not abnormally stormy. He cites Dr Gardner’s Anaconda ranch showing 13 percent lamb crop and notes rising Montana wool shipments to the National Wool Exchange, which expects 20,000,000 pounds listed this year plus Montana origin operations. Despite a price around 28 cents a pound, down five to six cents from last year, heavier clips may offset the price decline.
