Twenty Per Cent Cut In Michigan Cattle Feeds
Michigan farms fed about twenty percent fewer cattle on January 1 this year due to corn and hay shortages and tighter credit. Western cattle imports dropped to 65 percent of the prior year's level amid leaner markets, while 85 to 90 percent of stock fed is home grown. The overall drop stems from 1930 corn crop losses and financing difficulties, with the total feed lot number the smallest since 1921.
