Virginia Wool Clip Forecast Steady to Slightly Higher
Virginia Tech economist Dr. J. L. Maxton said the annual wool clipping and spring lamb market outlook in Virginia parallels 1938 with wool likely at 30 to 33 cents per pound and lamb prices possibly a bit lower than last year. He notes reduced western slaughter, potential April supplies from hogs and cattle, and a tariff barrier that caps domestic price rises, while Virginia wool risk remains buoyed by local premium and improved flock quality. The report highlights small cost to keep a ewe, potential better lambing if conditions stay mild, and the crop's role in using mountain grazing and sustaining farm income.
