[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1326244, member: 498"] Fence, I was replying to Best's question/comment on wool value. The vast majority of the sheep I see have wool. The people I have known in my life who own thousands of sheep all have had wool sheep. As for sheep being an important crop in all western states, they don't even make the top 25 as far as dollar value in Washington, Oregon, or California. And it is tough to get more western than those states unless you count Hawaii. As for the other western states sheep are sheep rank #5 for dollar value in Wyoming, #7 in Nevada, #8 in Colorado, #9 in Montana, #12 in Idaho, #13 in New Mexico, and #21 in Arizona. But in all of those states they are less than 3% of the agriculture income. I have no idea what they raise in the east. I have only been east of the Mississippi one time in my life. And yes we all know that Texas is number one in lamb and also in beef. Any time we forget what a great state Texas is there is someone sure to remind us. [/QUOTE]
