lamb population dwindled

1, 1977, there were an
estimated 12.7 million of
these animals on American
farms, 5 per cent fewer than
a year earlier and 12 per cent
below the 1975 count. The

Swiss dairy club of Lan
caster County held its second
meeting on April 11 at the
Farm and Home Center,
Lancaster. At this meeting

shown, after which a
suggestion was made that
the Lancaster County dairy
clubs, which are now
arranged by breeds, become
area dairy clubs in
corporating all breeds. This
would save members from
extra traveling to meetings.
Other dairy clubs in the
county are thinking about
the change.
