Fewer Lambs On Feed In Texas
In Texas there are fewer lambs on feed this season though feeders expect profit. Texas A and M College Extension animal husbandman W R Nisbet says lamb feeders bought lambs cheaply enough to profit on a fat lamb market similar to last spring. He notes more lambs fattened on wheat pastures than feed lots, but drought reduces wheat feeding.
