SAN ANTONIO, Tex -
Discussions at the recent National
Wool Growers Association meeting
in San Antonio, Texas centered
around the disastrous plunge
recently experienced in the lamb
pricing structure nationwide
The NWGA is the nation’s oldest
livestock organization,
representing 100,000 sheep
producers in the United States
A spokesman for "the
organization admitted they were
not sure why the pricing structure
collapsed, and could not say why in
some cases the price of lambs
dropped 50 per cent in a six-week
period But, the spokesman added,
the NWGA was intent on
preventing a similar situation in
the future
Stewart Cnuckshank, president
of the Idaho Wool Growers Assn
and Chairman of the NWGA Lamb
Committee, said there is no clear
cut explanation for the recent
fluctuation, but that the NWGA
would attempt to mobolize an ad
hoc group to investigate and
evaluate what happened, and to try
to prevent a recurrence
“It has cost our industry literally
millions of dollars,” said
Cnuckshank, “and we just cannot
affort that kind of situation. ”
In other action at the convention,
the sheepmen agreed to ask
President Reagan for his
assistance in the area of animal
damage control

The White House will be asked to
transfer the Animal Damage
Control Program from the U S
Dept of Interior to the U S Dept
of Agriculture by Executive
Order Legislative efforts to
transfer this program last fall
were unsuccessful when the
subject became enbroiled in a
jurisdictional dispute in a joint
House-Senate conference com
mittee
Joe Helle of Dillon, Montana,
chairman of the NWGA Animal
Damage Control Committee, said
that sheepmen will be faced with
the dismal prospect of a minimum
control program during the up
coming lambing season because of
the present structure of the
program in the Dept of Interior
He also noted the quickest way to
remedy this situation was simply
by executive transfer of the
program from Interior to the
USDA
The NWGA will hold a Board
meeting in Washington, D C early
'in April to discuss this and other
issues with newly-elected
Congressional leaders and top
appointees in the Reagan ad
ministration
