This week on Next Year Country, Colton Young, Colter Brown, and Andy Schwab sit down with Montana State University Extension Sheep Specialist Brent Roeder to talk about the future of the sheep industry and the grand opening of MSU’s new wool lab.

The conversation also covers wool and lamb markets, opportunities for producers, tools to deal with drought, predator pressure, and efforts to strengthen Montana’s sheep industry.

The crew also discusses growing concerns from sugar beet producers over sugar imports, proposed increases in USDA FSA base acres, and the latest developments in the markets including the cattle on feed report, wheat exports, and the strong cull cow market.
