Prospects for Sheep in a Changing Market
The piece reviews a six year boom in sheep, then warns of lower wool and lamb prices, rising costs, and scarce buyers. It notes government data show stable sheep numbers, western ranges shrinking, cattle supply down, and beef prices rising. It urges farmers to expect smaller profits, tighter spending, and a skim milk approach as wool mills idle and 1907 wool remains unsold.
Stay by the sheep as wool markets rebound
Edward Van Alystyne urges sheep keepers to endure the wool price downturn, stock up now while good sheep are affordable, and keep breeders for future returns. He notes some regions shifted to cows, but wool and mutton remain essential, predicting wages and values will return to prior levels.
