Modest profits eyed for cattle feeders in ISU forecast
Ames Iowa State College economist Francis Kutish predicts modest profits for cattle feeders in 1987 but flags three conditions for profitability. Efficient feeders who own their feed and select feeder cattle carefully may gain, while high transport costs and large on feed numbers could dampen returns.
