Fewer Points May Be Asked For Beef
Reports from across the nation indicate meat supplies are improving for civilian distribution and further gains are expected. Factors include higher slaughter volumes, reduced military purchases, and better distribution between surplus and deficit areas. A new slaughter control program channels more animals to federally inspected plants, expanding legitimate meat availability while cutting small local plant slaughter to curb black market supplies. Some reductions in points may apply to beef and lamb during August, with pork unchanged.
