Ram breeding advice boosts future sheep profits
Francis says purebred rams remain the cheapest investment in the sheep lot even as prices rise. He favors buying young breeding stock this year for better dollar value, with profits expected next year. Wool shortages and rising meat demand should keep markets strong, and early lamb breeding is advised for farmers with winter care facilities since early lambs grow faster in cool springs and fetch higher prices.
