Livestock Supplies to Rise in Summer and Fall

The U S Agriculture Department said slaughter supplies of livestock for summer and fall are expected to be larger than last year due to stronger demand possibly offsetting price declines from increased marketings. Hog prices fell to the spring low in April with a 23 percent rise in marketing early this season. Cattle on feed in the corn belt were 2 percent higher, and the early lamb crop in March was above average aided by abundant California feed.
