Cattle Prices Drop In April

Brookings May 27. Prices of all cattle kinds and grades fell during the first three weeks of April and continued in May according to the federal bureau of agricultural economies. Beef steers at Chicago hit their lowest price since early 1922 and the lowest April reading since 1915. The April decline stemmed from large supplies and weak demand for beef for consumption and for stocker and feeder cattle. Receipts at seven leading markets were up 6 percent from April 1950, 4 percent above the three year April average, the largest in five years. The bureau cited feeder uncertainty about future markets and seasonal marketings as key factors. Peak marketings typically occur in late May or June, then supplies fall and prices rise into mid-September, with summer prices likely to advance but possibly below average due to weak demand abroad and at home.
