Cattle Feeders Face Slow Return to Normal as Costs Rise
USDA analysis shows feedlot profits improved modestly in May with 600-pound feeders bought last November at about 172 dollars and sold at 1050 pounds for roughly 68 dollars profit, while overall beef output remains constrained. Prices for live cattle in Omaha were near 51 dollars per 100 pounds in early June, with forecasts of fluctuating margins into 1975 and early 1976. Bee prices also eased slightly from last year’s peaks, averaging about 43 cents per pound in May.
