Cattle industry shifts as 1994 outlook predicts price pressures
Analysts at the National Cattlemen's Association annual outlook seminar in Reno say beef production will rise 3 to 4 percent in 1994, squeezing prices while industry structure shifts toward value added and efficiency. Cattle-Fox notes margins will narrow, and costs may rise if 1994 grain crops falter. New officers elected include Dan Koons as president and Bob Drake as president-elect, with Clark Willingham named first vice president. A SAFS summary booklet was released at the convention.
