Too few sheep farmers in Canada prompt debate
Canadian farm and textile experts question the small sheep population as it falls from 3.7 million in 1944 to 1.6 million by 1956. Despite a slow rebound, analysts say idle land could grow sheep, noting Canada imports 80 percent of wool and 30 percent of lamb and mutton. Wool is valued for its quality and potential with synthetic fibers. W. H. J. Tisdale promotes sheep farming as profitable, backed by deficiency payments and strong demand for meat and hides.
