Kentucky Wool Demand From Dual Points
Kentucky wool gains favor among dealers and manufacturers due to light shrinkage and cleanliness, says L. J. Horlacher of the College of Agriculture. Kentucky’s wool crop exceeds two and a half million pounds, mostly graded quarter-blood and three-eighths blood, with common mountain sheep producing coarser fleeces. Last year, low quarter blood and common grades sold for about two-thirds the price of higher grades. Purebred Hampshire Shropshire Oxford and Southdown breeding raises fleece value, improving offspring from common stock by roughly one-third to one-half per 1921 prices.
