Wool Marketing Program Raises Premiums for NM Wool
Since March 1948 the New Mexico wool marketing project shows mixed results for premiums after costs. Pre-shearing grading by length boosts price on the Boston market, with 518000 pounds skirted in 1949 on seven ranches and 325000 pounds graded in 1950 on six ranches. In 1951 over 39000 pounds were labeled by length for grades on six to seven ranches, with total sales in 1950 about 750000 pounds representing roughly 10 percent of wools sold, excluding Indian reservations.

Graded Wools Bring Premiums Across Texas and New Mexico
Extension wool marketing specialists report 59 Texas growers earned 10 365 dollars in premiums for length graded wools in 1948, a 3 cent per grease pound rise. About 70 percent of Sonora Fine 12 month wools were graded 1948–50, implying potential sales gains of 81 000 dollars at 3 cents. Longer wool also boosts grease fleece weight, with long fleeces averaging 8.2 pounds vs short 6.3, suggesting a 4 000 dollar gain for a 2 000 sheep operation. New Mexico shows 10-year results of lengthening programs with 2–5 cent premiums and reputational Boston market clips.
