Hog prices improving as hog slaughter drops in 1957

Iowa State college farm economist Francis A. Kutish says the gap between 1956 and 1957 hog prices is narrowing. Slaughter in early 1957 runs 15 to 20 percent below last year, with July to September projected similar to 1956. Prices should strengthen into late spring or early summer before easing again, ending the year roughly like 1956. CATTLE

Cattle Prices and Feed Margin Shifts Highlight Seasonal Change

Market notes indicate feeder cattle are about $4 higher than last year while choice slaughter steers rise $2.50. Demand from cattlemen for stockers competing with packing houses reshapes margins as cattle go on grass. Kutish explains margins on feeder cattle and lower grades on feed this season won’t widen as much as typical slaughter cattle margins.
