Outlook For Beef Shows Prices Likely To Rise In 1958
College Station economist John Mc Haney predicts cattle prices will rise further in 1958 though later gains depend on overall business activity. January 1958 cattle numbers likely about two million head, with fewer cows slaughtered and a smaller 1958 calf crop. Range feed in Texas improves and supports stock through winter, while meat output remains steady with heavier carcass weights and a potential uptick in hog slaughter. Lower pork prices late in 1958 could shift balance toward beef.

Outlook for 1958 Egg Industry in Texas and Nation
Poultry expert F Z Beanblossom predicts 1958 will bring modest gains in total US chick production and egg output, though farm layers may dip 3-4 percent. US chick production likely up 4-6 percent. Texas egg-type chick output drops from 1956 levels, with improvements expected in late 1958. Prices to farmers may rise, driven by high incomes and a 5 percent cut in per capita egg supplies.
