MELADY REPORTS
SHEEP OUTLOOK
FINE JFTER TRIP
Forecasts Heaviest Shipments
Ever Received at South
Omaha This Fall: C. E.
Hawver Optimistic.
Prospects for a heavy run of sheep
this fall are excellent, according to
Gene Melady, who returned YVednes
day for a 10 days' trip to Wyoming.
Melady expects that the heaviest ship
ments of sheep ever received at the
market will come this fall. The win
ter was an unusually good one for
lambing, according to Melady, and the
grass is plentiful.
Charles E. Hawver, representative of
the Stockman Journal, also reports
tine conditions throughout the west.
With the exception of a fewr isolated
districts, conditions in Wyoming,
Idaho, Oregon, California and Nevada
are very favorable to sheep and cattle
men.
Expect Big Returns.
Live stock men are looking for big
' returns on all live stock this year.
"Throughout southern Idaho we
met scores of sheepmen who were
shearing and the complaint about
shearers was universal," said Mr.
Hawver. "The shearers, they said,
did poor work and were continually
asking for more money.
"Conditions were not very favorable
in the southeastern part of Oregon
r.nd the southwest corner of Idaho.
Here the range was very dry, and
many sheepmen moved their herds
farther north in both states in order
to save them. It is generally thought
that the hay crop in southern Idaho
will be below normal, owing to cool
vyeather, especially for the first cut
ting, and a very large acreage having
been turned under and seeded to
wheat. The Boise valley will have
very little, if any hay at all, and they
are already talking $15 per ton in that
section.
"It is not unlikely that there will
be a very great number of old ewes
go to the market tlfis fall. We had
rumcrous requests as to information
.is to the future of the market for
this sort of stuff. These ewes might
serve as breeding stock in the middle
west.
"There were a great number of ewe
lambs carried over in southern Idaho
last winter, the owners expecting to
ct!l them out of the shearing corral,
but sucii sales have been small, result
ing in the necessity of carrying these
until fall, when they hope to sell them
to ranpe men.
'"California had about a normal
crop, but conditions were unfavorable
for maturing them, and not over 50
per cent of fat lambs were shipped,
the balance being held back and will
go forward as yearlings. Nevada had
an excellent lambing. Range condi
tions are very good, and there should
be a normal supply of finished almbs
go forward along in September.
"In Utah the range seems to be
good in spots, there being some sec
tions where it is exceedingly dry,
which forced growers to turn their
flocks on their alfalfa fields. This
will practically eliminate hay produc
tion in these sections. This condition
does not cover a large area."
