Sheep husbandry touted as essential industry in county
The Shepherdstown Register argues sheep farming should lead Jefferson County’s economy. It criticizes a weak dog law and legislative inaction, estimates $100,000 annually lost to the dog issue, and urges policy to support wool and meat trades. Reports on contractors Peter Best and Saylor Coforde advancing grading and masonry work for regional rail projects, with timelines to begin next week and aim to finish by October 1.
