Lift Beef Price Freeze Now Says New Mexico Economist
LAS CRUCES The beef price freeze should be lifted immediately to ease confusion among consumers and cattlemen says Robert L. Coppersmith extension economist with New Mexico State University. He notes shortages at meat counters and high feed costs limiting cattle feeding plans with July showing 12 percent more cattle available but fewer placed on feed than a year earlier. Marketings of fed cattle are expected to fall in August and placements on feed down 10 to 15 percent from last year.
