Panhandle Cattle: One Million Feed in Winter
Grover Hill of the Panhandle Livestock Association says about one million cattle are being fed this winter in the Texas Panhandle, slightly fewer than recent years. Most cattle stay on feed or pasture, with buyers active year round and shipments to Kansas Nebraska Iowa and Illinois. Northern markets receive 300000 to 500000 head annually, with spring arrivals from the south matching market shipments. Normal cattle flow could bring ranches about 25000000 dollars this year. Late fall brings a surge of cattle from South Texas and Mexico following summer pasture shipments.
