Revolution in Mexico wipes out cattle trade
El Paso April 2. The Mexican revolution wipes out the northern cattle industry supplying a major share of US meat. Yearling steers now bring about 30 dollars, two year olds 40 to 47, with scant supply. Pre revolution yearling prices were around 20 and two-year-olds about 80, while disease and range conditions worsen. Gene Luis Terrazas, Mexico’s top cattle raiser, faces exile as revolts cut export flows and threaten American beef prices this spring.
