Cattle Feeding Falls in Georgia Amid Feed Shortages
Dec. 16. Georgia reports a 19 percent drop in cattle fed for slaughter this year versus last, strongest in eastern and northeastern areas. Central Georgia shows smaller decline, though under 90 percent of prior levels due to boll weevil damage. Feed shortages and high prices drive farmers to sell thin stock for cash, while margins deter feeding. A shift toward centralized markets in the southeast may ease dissatisfaction. Most cattle are expected to be marketed December through February, with two thirds under 750 pounds.
