Nation's cattle inventory and pork, poultry rise shown
The chart shows beef production rising with total cattle expected to reach 90 to 91 million from 80 million in 1950 and 84.2 million in 1951. The 1951 pig crop is estimated at 106 million, 5 percent above 1950, with pork production up 5 to 10 percent through next March. Chickens are at record levels.
