NFO Holds Mixed Results on Midwest Markets
The National Farmers Organization action to hold livestock from markets met mixed results across the Midwest. Chicago Stockyards saw heavy cattle runs, hog receipts rose, and Kansas City posted 3000 more cattle than last Tuesday, while hogs dipped from normal. Staley cited directed points keeping 70 percent of livestock out of terminals and predicted possible feeder cattle holdbacks if packers vary slaughter. Retail meat prices climbed in St Louis area stores, and NFC actions may drive a meat shortage by late next week.
