QUICKER MONEY
‘The livestock producer is
learning he can make more money
and make it quicker with sheep,
than he can with beef cattle,"
Ford explained. "And they're
learning that wool and lambs give
them their first cash income after
the first of the year."
Ford backed up his arguments
this way:
A dry cow will cost the farmer
or rancher $100, and her first
calf wlU bring IBB or MO if it
does well.
That same $100 will buy eight
high-bred ewee, which will produce
at least seven tombs, maybe
more. Seven lambs at 111 each
total $126 from lamb production.
Add to that |S worth of wool shear-
ed from each ewe and you have
a whopping $166 return from a

counties would be affected propor-
tionately.
The association developed the
compromise in order to offset
what it termed excessive allot-
ment grants to. west Texas and
Plains farmers during the past
two years. The coming two years
of "freeze” would eliminate those
large allotments in figuring aver-
ages. they explained.
Similar meetings were held in
Celina Monday night and at Wy-
lie last week. Other meetings are
planned for Plano and Anna Fri-
unimproved native grass acres.
The same is true during winter
and early spring when winter
rains and button clovers take over
the grazing chores.
Trietach "builds" pastures by
overseeding clover and vetch in
North Texas for sheep."
Big thorn in the side of sheep-
men this year wlU be an acute
shortage of good replacement ewes,
Ford said."
Last year, herd numbers were
cut down and few ewe tomb re-
placements were kept by produc-
ers because of the grass short-
age. Heavy rains and good mar-
ket conditions have mads good
replacements hard to find.
FINE WOOL

ket in not more than five months.
In good rainfall years, the mar-
ket 8180 is reached to four months,
by early March. Creep feeding to
help ewes produce a good lamb
also reduces the time needed to

two years. The action, they ex-
plained, is a compromise in at-
tempts to end the two-year has-
sle between sectional factions over
acreage.
Under the freeze proposal, coun-
“It all adds up to a good farm-
ing program," said Phillip Triet-
•--- Both Trietsch and Ford admit
that sheep are a bit more trouble
to handle than cows. The ewes
require more help during lambing,
and they're more susceptible to
wet weather. But over the long
haul, they say sheep will become
even more important to Denton
County’s economy in the years to
come.
"Wool and lamb production me-
thods in South Texas, where ran-
chers specialize in ‘growing wool',
are taking hold in Denton County..
Producers are selling more and
better wool from better managed
uniform flocks, and lamb produc-
tion percentages are going up,” he
said. - - — —" ,

if his sheep will produce wool or

Gathering the sheep for shear-
ing and to separate lambs. Triet-
sch noted that many of the animals
had oats sprouted in its wool.
Grains apparently had become
lodged in wool of the animals dur-
ing grazing, and with dirt from
rains, sprouted and began growth.
No damage was done to the wool,
however, but it made a guy won-
