Next Two Years Will Be Good For Cattle Feeders
Economists at Iowa State College predict favorable times for cattle feeders over the next two years. Their four key factors include a continued decline in cattle numbers since 1934, many marketings consisting of cows and heifers, slow hog recovery, and rising consumer demand. With a normal 1937 growing season, breeders especially west of the Mississippi are expected to replenish breeding stock, keeping cattle prices relatively high.
