Livestock Outlook For 30 Days From Western Experts
Western state university livestock specialists predict October December cattle slaughter to resemble 1972 levels but heavier carcasses may raise beef per capita availability. Total red meat consumption this year should be about 10 pounds below 1972, with beef around 110 111 pounds per person. Prices for beef in Oct November likely drop to near February lows, then rebound by 1974 as supplies tighten and incomes rise. Exports and feed grain demand push 1973 prices to records. 1973 soybeans seen 1.6 billion bushels, meal tight, and meat plant inputs stay costly amid lower high protein feed use.
