Beef price hike urged by secretary at cattlemen meeting
Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz warned beef prices must rise beyond pennies to lift domestic production and avoid shortages. He told newsmen in San Diego that higher prices would spur ranchers to feed cattle and grow forage, while DES and coyote-killing bans drew criticism. Dunlop said meat and bread costs may rise but should level off by year end.
