Needs Of Sheep Industry Cited
The market for lamb and wool is bright but needs better promotion to compete with substitutes. Ohio State Extension sheep specialist Ralph Grimshaw told the Ohio Sheep Improvement Association that population growth could raise lamb demand to six pounds per person by 1980, with a production goal near 32 million uniform lambs and wool use rising to 735 million pounds. He urged more efficient production, research, better merchandising, breeder cooperation, unified breed programs, industry action, and a stronger image. Howard Banbury was elected president, with Harold Bull as vice president and Grimshaw as secretary-treasurer. new directors include Arthur Brandt and Walter Black among commercial stock owners, Don Foos, Bernard Gray Richwood, Emil Hartzell, and Herbert Milroy across breeder groups.
