Prospects Bright for Montana Sheepmen on Lamb Price Rise
Helena Jan 17 Montanas sheepmen expect higher income as lamb prices jump 35 to 40 percent in 30 days. Montana Woolgrowers secretary Stebbins cites 6.5 to 7 cents last month and hints at 10 cents by month end. With 1934 lamb crop of 2,000,000 unsold and AAA purchases driving demand, the wool outlook remains weak but improving despite a shorter national wool crop due to drought-area ewe purchases.
