Cattle prices under price controls depress market
The day’s cattle kill at Geo A Hormel and Co ran 104 versus 107 last Friday while normal runs exceed 680. Government price restrictions kept operations stable yet tight, as the American Meat Institute noted possible law violations by paying above ceilings then offsetting later. Retail meat dealers urged Congress to scrap price controls amid a three year low in cattle markets and widespread packing slowdowns. The National Association of Retail Meat and Food Dealers said about 70,000 dealers are represented by its group.
