Cattle and dairy outlook edging through spring market shifts
Iowa State College farm economist Francis A. Kutish says cattle markets lag and prices stay high but will sag as the backlog of cattle clears. Feeder prices track fat cattle. January to February feeder costs rose sharply in Sioux City and Kansas City. Government action is slow but Congress faces tax cuts or public works spending. Inventory liquidation rose in January, while manufacturing sales fell, signaling continued redraw. Dairy receipts drop about one cent per pound as April price supports take effect, with milk production seen near 127 billion pounds in 1958 amid steady demand. per capita consumption may rise slightly.
