Senators: Sheep ranchers face hit from lamb market collapse
In Washington, lawmakers and Justice Department probes tackle falling lamb prices. Ranchers say they receive about 53 cents a pound while retail leg of lamb sells for 6.99 a pound. Analysts cite weak demand and stiff competition from beef poultry pork and fish as drivers of a prolonged loss period. The American Sheep Industry Association reports 110 000 producers and 2000 to 4000 ranchers pushed out in 2 3 years with inventory down 19.5 percent last year. Prices hover around 45 cents a pound on the hoof, far below the 65 to 70 cent break even point.

U.S. to turn over 3 smaller bases in Philippines
Philippine Senate opens debate on a new U S lease for Subic while Clark Air Base is handed back next year and three small bases Wallace Air Station Camp O Donnell and the San Miguel Naval Communications Station to be turned over next week. The plan would keep Subic for 10 years and provide about 203 million in annual compensation, but faces strong opposition over sovereignty and nuclear concerns amid Mount Pinatubo’s eruption aftermath.
