Meat shortage study shows decline in cattle and sheep
The Department of Agriculture reports a severe meat shortage with nine fewer beef cattle, seven fewer sheep, and three fewer hogs per 100 people since 1910. Population rose from 91.97 million to 98.65 million in three years, while cattle fell 12.9 percent and sheep 6.6 percent. Swine rose 1.3 percent but not enough to match population growth. Despite value rising from 1.534 to 1.980 billion, higher costs of production outpace selling prices, limiting farmer profit even as demand grows.
