Farm Outlook predicts continued cattle expansion into 1960
Farm Economist Francis Kutish of Iowa State University says peak cattle expansion has not yet occurred and western stockmen will keep increasing breeding herds if conditions stay favorable. He notes enough pasture this summer if rainfall and temperatures are normal through May and June. A normal marketing pattern is expected this fall, suggesting waiting to buy replacement cattle. Hog prices should stay profitable for converting corn to pork for 1960, with the summer hay price peak likely in July or August. Slaughter for hogs lags behind last year but remains large.
