The Office of Price Administration issued Price Schedule 58 on December 17th. The maximum price of wool under that schedule was to be the highest price contracted for or received by the seller for wool of the same class, type, condition, and grade, between October 1 and December 6, 1941. The order also covered details on records to be kept, reports to be made, and enforcement. 19 On February 23, 1942, Maximum Price Resolution 106 replaced Price Schedule 58. The new regulation set the price by grade on a clean basis at Boston, resulting in the price average of 40 cents per pound in April 1942, 20 a low price compared to most commodities.

Vance Mcintosh accompanied the rams on the freight train to meet John K at the sale. While there, John K became ill with an attack of lumbago; upon his return he turned the Ram Sale travels over to Bill. The next scheduled sale was to be in Del Rio, Texas, and Bill made his maiden trip to an out of state sale, traveling on the freight train with the sheep. 228 |
