The Drive of 1883 Cattle Projections and Market Outlook
Fort Worth Stock Journal estimates 220000 cattle to be driven this spring with 140000 yearling steers 55000 two year olds and 15000 three year olds and females. About 120000 on open market and 100000 at Dodge and Ogalalla for ranch use. Prices vary 10.60 to 12.50 for yearlings 1.50 to 16.50 for two year olds and 18 to 19 for three year olds. Demand for young steers remains high and holding back breeding stock could raise future profits while expanding beef output. Opening of refrigerator meat trade could create new outlet for surplus cattle.
