Nebraska Cattle Population to Shrink as Federal Purchases End
Nebraska’s cattle total stood at about 3,000,000 on April 1 and will drop by roughly one seventh when federal emergency purchases end. Howard J. Gramlich, director of federal operations, estimates over 400,000 head will be removed from drought denuded pastures and ranges when the order ceases. Purchases in the next eleven days are expected to reach about 90,000 head, based on roughly 45,000 in the final two weeks. Producers rushed to dispose of stock they cannot feed through winter, with quotas recently overfilled as cattle men moved surplus quickly and pressure intensified since September 1.
