Outlook for cattle hogs and sheep range conditions in 1963
Range conditions in Texas and the United States are fair but could improve with rain. Beef production rose 6 percent in the first half of 1963, driven by heavier weights and more cattle slaughtered, with July to September marketings possibly up 9 percent from 1962. Hog prices remain stable with a small seasonal dip expected late in 1963, while lamb prices may rise modestly.
