Diminution of Sheep Affects Farm Meat Supply and Economy
The article notes a sharp decline in US sheep numbers since 1910, with 1914 farm counts dropping 8.4 percent from 1913 and 6.2 percent from 1910. It cites labor shortages, high prices, drought, dogs, and land value as causes, and argues sheep offer economical meat and wool byproduct, with three main challenges: stomach worms, dogs, and misfocused wool emphasis. It also discusses hog trends and pricing implications for the broader farm economy.
