World wool production outlook and sheep industry notes
World wool production in 1928 30 will probably match 1928 29 and demand in the United States should stay strong with some foreign demand gains. Long term outlook urges caution in expanding the sheep industry even as a favorable near term market persists due to high beef and veal prices and a smaller 1929 lamb crop. Slaughter of cattle calves is expected to stay low for two years, with hog slaughter down. future herd expansion may occur in three years as cattle and hog slaughter rises.
Wool outlook tempers expansion in U S production
The wool situation here mirrors global trends and lamb prices remain mostly shaped by domestic factors. Current prospects do not support renewed expansion in wool production at this time.
