Farm Outlook Sees Beef Supply Growth With Stable Prices
Farm Economist Marvin Skadberg of Iowa State University projects beef per capita use will rise without forcing cattle numbers up as population grows. Gains per head have climbed from about 175 pounds in 1920 to nearly 300 pounds in 1960, driven by more feedlots and heavier cattle and more calves kept for maturity. Meat demand remains healthy though drought affects Montana and the Dakotas. cattle prices this fall may dip due to broilers and hogs but should firm later. Soybean protein costs stand around 11.8 cents per pound with cottonseed 11.7 and linseed 14.3. meat scraps are 9.7 cents. Protein prices vary by dealer but are expected to stay stable into fall.
