Huntley denies cattle shortage amid price rise
Carl Huntley of the Big Hole, in Butte for finalizing shipments, says beef prices reflect higher production costs. He notes farmers shipped about 200 cattle weekly over two months, averaging 115 cents per pound for steers and 10 cents for cows, arguing the shortage claim is exaggerated and the industry is returning to a viable profit level.
