OUTLOOK FOR PRODUCTION OF LAMBS IS GOOD By FREDERICK E. BOSS, Agricultural Ext Agent . The outlook for lamb pAxiuction for the next several years is1 good, The. 1967 spring marketing sea son is unusual, in that the slaugh ter for the, first few months was considerably higher than.- a year ago and considerably higher than the ' surely of - animals - available for s'.it.el ter. This mpans that, 7 t V - 1" n.j ii vit-ie into t'ne luntb market. This means that the out look for, sheep production in? the future should be good for - next year and the years ahead.'jf- Reduced ' slaughter lamb sup plies compared to a year ago can M expected throughout the bal ance of the year. Still fewer lambs will be available for slaugh ter in 1968, and the same story might well be reported for two or three years in the future. No bonanza profit prospects are like ly, but operators who can retain good lambing percentages and high weaned lamb weights per ewe should do well. Lamb prices in the period of the next three or four years are like ly to average in the range of $22 to $26 per cwt. If anything, these estimates are conservative. The farm and ranch stock ewes inven tory for January 1, 1967, showed a decrease of 6 for ewes of lam ing age. Next year's Iamb prices will av erage higher than for 1967, based on supply prospects. In fact, for the foreseeable future there is no I eason Iamb and wool production can't be as profitable as beef cat tle for conscientious operators snd where they are equally well adap ted. Numbers buildup from cur rent record low is likely to come very slow. So the future looks good for pro ducers already in the production of lambs; and those who are con sidering getting into the sheep business an look favorably on its future. A word of warning, man agement is the key to any busi ness snd good future marketing prospects cannot substitute for good management. - WNC Baptwt Pat tort To Meet Monday, July 10 : i The Western", North ' Carolina Baptist Pastors Conference will meet on Monday, July 10 at 1040 ft fsae in the First Baptist Church t Waynes ville.. -Dr, Elmer West, pastor of the Mars Hill Baptist Church, will be the featured speak er.
