Sheep To Boost Farm Income In Wool Upswing In Southwest
Analyzing shrinking cotton allotments, farmers consider sheep as a profitable sideline. The Wall Street Journal notes global wool demand outpacing supply, with Australian wool prices rising from 1.40 to 1.85 per pound and potential jump further. US sheep numbers have fallen from 64 million in 1948 to 32 million, due to urban job opportunities. Sheep farming faces fencing and predator challenges but suits small farms, and wool remains scarce while substitutes for cotton exist.
