Expansion of Canada Sheep Industry Across Regions
The Canadian sheep sector grew during the war, with prices stabilizing and a trend toward larger flocks. 1922 wool production reached about 15.54 million pounds, much of which moves through regular trade channels to mills or exports. Eastern and Western Canada show strong, expanding flocks, diverse breeds, and improving wool quality aided by grading since 1913. Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers coordinates grading and shipments, linking many associations and boosting sales domestically and abroad.

Right Weight for Marketing Hogs at Two Hundred Pounds
Mr. A. MacMillan of the Dominion Livestock Branch advises farmers to aim for an average hog weight of 200 pounds at marketing. He notes market conditions may justify lighter or longer feeding, but large deviations lead to underfinished or overweight hogs. His handbook adds that finishing to 200 pounds minimizes overweight hogs and that extra heavy hogs are usually breeding stock only.
