Record Kill Complicates Beef Pricing
Washington AP reports cattle slaughter last week reached a record high at 515000 head, 15 percent above the same week last year and 1 percent above the prior week. Agriculture officials say imports align with 1958-83 averages, with Freeman predicting higher domestic production and imports limited for 18 months due to global shortages. Government beef purchases aim to stabilize cattle prices though beef donations aid school lunch programs, and Freeman notes prices might be lower without such actions.
