Beef Cattle Prices Seen Ranging Higher Next Year
Indiana agricultural economist Bob Jones of Purdue predicts higher beef cattle prices in 1967 due to a smaller calf crop, modest feeder imports, reduced cow slaughter, and strong fed beef demand. Slaughter steer prices may rise 1 to 1.5 dollars per hundredweight by mid winter, with Chicago choice steers averaging 27 to 32 dollars in early 1967.
