A U S Bureau of Agricultural Economics inventory shows Georgia livestock valued at 87 369 000 dollars with little change from last year. The report notes fewer horses as motor vehicles and tractors cut demand while mule numbers stay near last year and mule prices begin to rise in January.
Estimated value per head rose from a 1922 low as prices climbed rapidly. Milk cows fell a dollar from last season while other cattle were down ten cents. Southeast shipments slowed due to quarantine, cattle in the north central belt increased with strong dairy cash returns, sheep followed wool prices but numbers declined, and hogs surged in the north central area while the south focused more on cotton. Net state returns reflect these shifts.
Observers note a slight rise in breeding stock and heavy early hog shipments suggesting larger numbers, while many believe the surge reflects feed shortages. The lighter weights and unfinished stock arriving at yards support this view.
