Cattle slaughter may not rise sharply in 2nd quarter
Kansas State University livestock specialist Mike Sands says fed cattle slaughter may rise about 8 percent in Q1 1983 but offset by seasonal declines and near year-ago slaughter weights could yield only a 4 to 6 percent gain from Q1 1982. He projects Q2 increases around 3 percent and notes margins, feed costs, and feeder availability will shape prices, with Q2 fed cattle near $69-$71 and feeder prices rising to the low $70s.

Marketing and Risk Management Critical To Farm Economy
Rural and farm businesses must expand marketing and financial risk management skills to adapt to long term economic changes. Farms have grown larger since 1940, with two thirds of farm operation units failing. Off farm income has risen, many refinance loans, and some file for bankruptcy. Rural firms cut inventories, workers, and services as they tighten belts amid regulatory shifts and international changes. Vesicular stomatitis appears in Kansas herds, a disease that can mimic foot and mouth disease, prompting alert from veterinarians.
