1943 Lamb Crop Falls to Smallest Since 1924
The 1943 lamb crop, estimated at about 1.101 million to 1.500 million head and roughly 50 percent below the 1942 crop, was the smallest since 1924, per the U S Department of Agriculture. The drop stems from fewer breeding ewes and a lower lambing percentage, with breeding ewes down 1 percent and the lambing rate at 83.3 percent versus 86.4 last year and a 10 year average of 84.0.

Record Lamb Crop Drops in Western States Amid Shortage
The 1943 lamb crop estimates show a 4 percent decline from last year across the 13 western states, totaling about 900,000 head. Breeding ewe counts were down, while lambing faced earlier reductions in lambs docked and percentage crop, with Michigan, South Dakota, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Washington, and Oregon experiencing the sharpest declines. Reports cite feed shortages and inexperience during early lambing as factors, though later conditions improved in most flocks. Data gathered from roughly 44 million breeding ewes across native and western flocks came via Rural Mail Carriers and mail surveys to owners and ranches.
