Beef price rise seen as 1977 outlook softens losses
Nebraska economist Dr. Allen Wellman projects retail beef prices averaging ten cents higher in 1977, with Omaha steer prices at 43 to 45 per hundredweight, amid declining cattle slaughter and inventory. He expects a modest spring rise and summer peak, noting a shift in consumption and imports. Economists Sharples and Krenz warn against a cost spiral in farm supports, suggesting linking targets to a fixed land cost component.

Outlook dim for hogs in 1977 from price slump study
Lincoln analysts Dr. Larry Bitney and university experts project hog prices averaging $35 to $37 per hundredweight in 1977 after a sharp drop from 1975 to 1976. They warn spring lows in the low to mid $30s due to higher sow farrowings, with rebound possible in the fall if crops and costs align and feed prices hold.
