Five Years Needed for the Recovery of Sheep Industry
Chicago Sept 29 The National Institute of Progressive Farming reports it will take five years to recover from the recent sheep market collapse. The survey notes the industry was nearly wiped out during the inflation period as imported rams were slaughtered and meat demand collapsed. Recovery is underway with revived herds, but breeding stock remains scarce and prices for mutton high on the Pacific coast. Strong demand for fat lambs is expected this fall despite the overall setback. The institute says wood growing should be a sideline, not essential, while the U S cannot match Australia and Argentina in good markets yet should not wreck the agricultural system by ignoring fans.
