Farm Outlook Warns Cattle Prices Likely to Improve in 1959
Iowa State College economist Francis A. Kutisch says beef cowherds may stay lean in coming years with possible calf crop cuts and steer reductions. He expects cattle numbers to level or dip slightly this year, then rise in 1959, signaling the shortest downturn in the cattle cycle. Hogs face lower prices next fall but rise again in 1959, while sheep farming is a strong bet with slow national expansion and a farm-flock trend amid scarce labor.
