NFO Eyes Long Term Contracts To Secure Livestock Flow
In its tenth year the NFO seeks contracts with processors to guarantee a steady livestock supply at set prices. Minimums mirror two years ago at 2275 per hundredweight for hogs 32.45 for beef cattle and 29.45 for sheep. Hog prices had plunged to 14.00 recently while cattle traded near 20.50. The 1942 holding action produced unclear results amid some violence but the NFO hailed success while processors earned slaughter-ready livestock and markets showed slight price upticks.
