Sheep Shearing Gains In Uintah Basin After Warm Spell
Warmer weather boosts sheep shearing in Uintah basin. Trucks carry wool to Watson with loads of about twenty sacks weighing 259 to 300 pounds and valued at 1500 to 1800 dollars each. In 1927 fleeces sold 29 to 32 cents per pound with some baling at the higher figure, while about 125,000 fleeces are shipped from Uintah county with average weight eight to nine pounds. Some losses occur from bad weather in the first week of shearing, but losses are below average for the season.
