Larger Lamb Crop Needed in Oregon "One of the big problems of the sheep business in this state is that the breeders are not getting a large enough lamb crop," says H. A. Lind gren, Oregon State' college specialist Ihe state of Washington reports an average of 120 per cent lambing wnne ine average lor this state is only 80 to 90 per cent. More atten, tion must be paid to breeding and lambing time. Ewes giving a large amount or milk and having a good heavy fleece with lots of quality to gether with conformation is what makee the sheep pay. "This state has very good market ing conditions for both sheep and cattle providing they are handled cor rectly. Oregon is strictly a Ramboui lette state. Idaho and Washineton are looking to this state for fine wool hreeding stock, thus affording an ex cellent market for breeding ewes. In Portland the market demands 2500 head of cattle per week which can be supplied by breeders of this state providing their cattle are put on the market regularly in good condition. which is possible."
