Lawrence County Wool Pool marks 1917 legacy and yields
The Lawrence County Wool Pool drew 362 sheep farmers who sold about 95,000 pounds of wool sponsored by the Lawrence County Wool Growers Co-Op. Buyers pay region and national buyers. Bill Fullerton leads in yield with about 1,500 head. Two baling machines sped packing, wool graded by staple length and color, typical payment around 85 cents per pound, with higher rates for fine greased wool.
