Outlook For Livestock Raisers
The nation ends 1954 with fewer cattle as higher slaughter and dry weather push marketings. Beef production stays at record levels while fed cattle prices stay steady this fall and grass fed cattle decline seasonally. Hogs are higher slaughtered since July with prices expected to drift downward. Lamb prices fall earlier this summer with increased sheep slaughter. No major price recovery expected until after the fall marketing season.
