Farm Outlook by State Economist predicts modest feeder cattle margins
State economist Francia A. Kutish of Iowa State College notes feeder cattle gains will be slim as farmers cut costs to profit. Strong western pasture supports feeder prices while eastern grazing lands run short, signaling a late fall cattle movement. Egg outlook for 1958 is modestly positive with a 5 to 6 percent chick hatch rise to replace culled laying hens.
