The report notes a larger pork supply for the first half of 1962 offset by population gains and higher consumer incomes. Cattle on feed weigh more above 900 pounds but fewer in 700 to 900 pounds, with more cattle on feed over six months, signaling more supply this winter and less in May to June. Wheat pastures, movement timing, and longer feeding periods shape market timing. Heavy snows pushed wheat cattle to move earlier, extending the market spread into spring.
