UJS. Sheep Industry To Act
On Deluge Of Lamb Imports
In an emergency session in
Denver recently, the presidents
of the two largest sheep organi
zations expiessed alarm at the
steady rise in impoits of lamb
in recent months into the Unit
ed States
James L. Powell of Foil Mc-
Kavett, Texas, president of the
National Wool Growers Asso
ciation, and Reed C Culp ot
Salt Lake City, Utah, president
of the National Lamb Feeders
Association, said in a joint
statement that there is extreme
concern about the imports of
lamb which have giown out of
all proportion in the first three
months of 1969.
During the first quarter of
1969 lamb impoi ts were 180 per
cent of the same nenod in 1968,
while during Mai cli of 1969 they
were 292 percent ox March 1968
In addition, lamb producers in
the U.S. expect an increased
supply of imported fiozen lamb
during April.
Powell and Culp said the in
creased imports of lamb, which
is not protected under any im
port quota law at present, have
been reflected in weakening of
domestic lamb puces at whole
sale during the last three weeks
Some of the important pro
cessors of lamb, as well as labor
unions, have also expiessed con
cern over the rising lamb im
ports
Powell said the NWGA also
objects strenuously to any at
tempt to cut tariffs on import
ed raw wool “We are absolute
ly opposed to any cut m tariff
"because of the difference in cost
of production between the

Powell added that the sheep
industry is making some giant
strides toward improving its
production and marketing piac-
tices under the Sheep Industry
Development Program, but that
the imports of lamb can literal
ly wreck this plan and with it
the domestic sheep industry.
Culp supported the NWGA in
this action and stated that the
time has come for the domestic
sheep industry to take appro
priate action to save the indus
try. “We have just reached a
point where we are turning
around and progressing rapidly
toward an improved and more
successful industry. These im
ports could very well reverse
this trend,” Culp said.
