Western Growers Deny Blame For Beef Shortage
Roy Forehand of the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association argues western producers did not withhold cattle from the market under price ceilings. He notes feeders in the corn belt have largely ceased buying western calves for fall delivery and cites impact of the price rollback on costs and profits. Forehand stresses calves are sold June to August for order buyers while cows stay on ranches, and that many western cattle are unfit for slaughter. He adds the industry will push a beef production plan at the Clayton meeting on June 22-23.
