Wool Market Jolts From Synthetic Goods Impact
The wool market flags under synthetic product competition, with Midwest Wool Company noting a poor market since May 1970. Growers supply 90 percent of wool, while high interest rates and a 15 to 25 percent carry-over strain demand. Black wool stands out in current markets as experts discuss wool grades, handling, and drying. Wildlife control talks address coyotes, bounty removal, and traps, stressing dogs’ sheep losses versus coyotes. An accelerated lambing program aims to raise yearly lamb crop with continuous or eight month cycles and confinement becoming common.
