Idaho animal husbandry expert E Rinehart of the University of Idaho notes in the 1947 wool marketing report that eight county pools marketed wool at 51 percent of 1945 levels, implying a decline in sheep numbers. He urges expanding flock sizes to boost future wool output.
Hart said sheep numbers could rise using wastelands and ditch banks now with new weed and willow growth. The American Wool Council notes domestic supply falls short of civilian and army needs. Idaho has 10 wool pools marketing 862,391 pounds at an average price of 49.89 per hundred. Pools preferred individual clip grading, boosting growers' returns. Counties replacing old ewes with young stock achieved higher averages, 54.07 versus 47.05.
