Beef price outlook seen little advance this year
Iowa State extension economist Leslie G. Kral told about 70 people on the Lon Bigbee farm near Marengo that beef supplies are adequate to prevent significant fat cattle price rises in 1966. He noted higher slaughter weights and more Prime and Choice cattle sold in May, warning against holding fat cattle too long, as drought and weather patterns complicate profitability. A six-farm cattle feeders tour followed with stops near Williamsburg and Marengo.
