Senators say sheep raisers join Justice Department probe into lamb market as prices for lamb on the hoof fall to about 53 cents per pound while grocery leg of lamb reaches 6.99 a pound. Economists note low consumption and stiff competition from beef, pork, poultry and fish. The American Sheep Industry Association warns 7,000 to 14,000 producers may have left in two to three years with inventory down 19.5 percent, while break-even costs sit around 65 to 70 cents per pound.
