Terry Loertscher, a neighbor, was awaken with the light of the fire, and alerted the Drapers who made them make the necessary call to the fire department who came to assist in controlling the blaze which required two fire engines for the control. Brad said there were a lot of neighbors who came to assist the firefighters in their attempt to keep the fire from spreading to their other surrounding build-ing- s .

Virginia Ferguson Ednal Simmons - 353-45353-483- Wool Production Plus, they kill an undetermined number ofnewborn elk calves in the late spring and early summer, making quick meals of the tiny animals. They hit the newborn elk calves pretty hard, Smith said. How many, I dont know. The number of calves is crucial to rebuilding a herd. Biologists gauge their survival with what they call a recruitment rate, which is the number of calves per 100 cows that survive their first winter. The average recruitment rate for the northern Yellowstone herd is about 35, Lemke said. This winter, which has been an easy one for elk, it is only eight. In late winter 1990, a year after the last big winter kill, the recruitment rate was 19, more than twice as high. That means the herd is as small as its been in a long time and the number of calves is at a near record Utah wool production totaled 2.9 million pounds during 1997, down 6 percent from 1996, according to the Utah Agricultural Statistics Service. Total sheep shorn during 1997, at 308,000 head, was 8 percent below the 1996 level. The 1997 average fleece weight was 9.4 pounds, 2 percent above 1996. The 1997 average price of wool in Utah was $0.75 per pound, 10 cents above the 1996 price. Higher prices offset lower production resulting in total value of all wool produced during 1997 at $2.2 million, 8 percent higher than 1996. Shorn wool production in the United States during 1997 was 53.9 million pounds, down 5 percent from 1996. Sheep and lambs shorn totaled 7.03 million head, a decrease of 3 percent from 1996. Fleece weights averaged 7.7 pounds dur- ing 1997, down 0. 1 pound from 1996. The average price paid for wool sold in 1997 was $0.84 per pound for a total value of $45.2 million, up 14 percent from $39.7 million in 1996. low. Lemke said he has heard concerns that wolf predation may spell n the end of the popular hunt in the Gardiner area in January and February. I sincerely doubt that, he said. But if wolf predation means smaller elk numbers and smaller migrations out ofthe park, fewer hunters may be allowed to take to the field.
