Cattle Inventory Decline Signals Stronger Market Outlook
Iowa State University economist Gene Futrell says record slaughter and leaner inventories pushed beef consumption to a high this year but set the stage for weaker production and higher prices ahead. He forecasts total cattle and calf numbers around 121 million in 1977 with slow further liquidation in 1978 and gradual price gains.
