Feeding Cattle Longer Than Usual Across Iowa Farmers
Iowa farmers trend toward longer feeding of beef steers to convert cheap feed into higher value meat. Chicago beef receipts for the first half of 1939 fell from a year earlier despite more cattle on feed. Economists note increased marketings, with May slaughter up 20 percent under Federal Inspection versus April and up 5 percent from May 1938. Slaughter of cows and calves likely remains below last year as rains improve feed, while high quality fed steers offer prospects for a narrow price spread. Demand for meats may rise later, but no immediate price surge is expected. lower grades trend with upper grades. Insurance policy changes extend yield data base and simplify handling, smoothing risks.
