Sheep numbers as of January 1 show an increase of 852,000 from 1922, though still below 1921 levels, with optimism that losses from the 1920 21 liquidation are being undone. Officials note grazing land settlement reduced open ranges and that expansion remains possible, especially in wool and mutton markets. Wool demand remains strong domestically, while mutton and lamb markets face more volatility, prompting studies to stabilize and broaden these markets.
