Kansas State University economist John H. McCoy says 1960 fat cattle prices likely to average about 2.50 below 1959 with heavy slaughter and rising pork competition. Stocker feeders stay near current levels while beef demand remains high. He forecasts a long range decline to 1964 before a rebound, noting cattle numbers and per capita beef use may push prices down further.

Grain Sorghum Price Jump Forecast in Kansas City
Manhattan experts forecast a $1.60 per hundredweight bid for grain sorghum at Kansas City on Sept 23 as the likely harvest low barring much wet grain. The national loan rate is $1.52 for sorghum and $2 for corn, creating a 48 cent spread that is expected to narrow due to feeder demand. Wet weather and large supplies could depress prices, while factors like price differentials, storage, loan availability, and local demand could support sorghum.
