Feeder Lamb Movements Show Regional Shifts in 1934
Shipments of feeder lambs through stockyards to the corn belt in October rose about 20 percent from a year earlier and earlier years, with four month totals to Iowa reaching the largest since 1920 and Minnesota the largest on record. Western feeding areas see declines, notably in Montana and Wyoming, with Nebraska and Kansas much smaller. Direct movements to feed lots remain sizeable but overall season totals are expected smaller than last year due to reduced western supply and high feeds costs. Prospects for slaughter lamb markets remain subdued for two months before possible sharp gains later in the season.
