Canadian cattle industry outlook in 1958 signals stability
R K Bennett of Canada's Department of Agriculture says 1958 should be a reasonably good year for cattlemen. Canada has 100,000 fewer cattle this year, while U S feedlot numbers also show a decline, supporting expectations of steady slaughter levels. Ontario relies on western feeders for 85 percent of its cattle, with western Canada supplying most feeders as population centers drive eastward demand. Top grade carcasses rose from about 6,000 weekly in 1948 to 15,000 in recent years, reflecting improved slaughter quality.
