Average lamb weight around 70 pounds selling at 34 1 4 cents per pound for feeder and fat lambs, with feeder prices starting at 32 cents and fat lambs peaking at 35 cents. Estimated returns exceed 500000 dollars as wool prices trend higher for fine grades.

Remodeling of Local Jail Sparks Safety Debate
Uintah county sheriff Herbert Snyder argues current jail heating endangers prisoners and proposes a central heating system as a major upgrade. The aging building bears scars from escapes, with windows replaced repeatedly and coal stoves still used for heat. A recent incident involved a pipe loosening near detentions, tied to a street incident. A notable jail break by Otis Woodring, from Snyder, Oklahoma, used a stove grate to breach a wall on a past date, leading to a chase into Texas.

Expect to Find New Source Of Water Supply
The Monsanté Chemical Company plans drilling a water well to tap an underground reservoir beneath Brush Creek Mountain.
