Weather and mud blamed for Nebraska cattle losses
Officials say severe winter and muddy pastures at University of Nebraska facilities led to 40 000 cattle deaths and much weight loss. USDA figures show February slaughter at 373 000 head, 5 pounds less per head, costing Nebraska an estimated 1 865 000 pounds of red meat. Cattlemen call for higher beef prices to offset losses from deaths, high grain costs, and poor weight gain.
