Pump wells and new farms are filling a large virgin area, with improved markets reshaping crop reach beyond livestock.

Rambouillet Sheep Boosts Iron County Range Flocks
Iron County ranchers adopted Rambouillet sheep starting twenty seven years ago and the breed now dominates local flocks. Pure bred ramouillet sires improved fleece weight from seven to about ten and a quarter pounds per head. Breeders travel to the US and abroad for top studs and use premier rams with strong lines of breeding. Escalante valley climate and irrigation support superior alfalfa seed production and crop quickness, drawing investors and settlers to Cedar City agricultural studies and local banks for guidance.
