State Milk Flow Still at All Time High Amid Record Production
November Pennsylvania milk output reached an estimated 487 million pounds to keep a record pace all year, up four percent from 1957’s 5.932 billion pounds for the first 11 months. The month’s 523 pounds per cow yielded high totals despite the lowest cow numbers in four years. Dairymen’s prices and feed ratios improved slightly with steady concentrate use and better pasture conditions late in the season. Local prices show mixed dairy feeds and hay costs, while national figures mirror strong milk and butterfat values.

Broiler Prices Rise on Early 1958 Support
Prices rose by about two cents per pound due to early 1958 gain in broilers. Mortality drivers are unlikely to recur and red meat supplies may increase 4 percent in early 1959. Breeder hens are available, indicating ample chick supplies in early 1959, with reduced chick and hatching egg prices potentially speeding liquidation of hatchery flocks by mid summer.
