Beef and Veal Imports Down as EU Prices Rise
Bremer County extension economist Gene Futrell notes U S imports of red meat in the first five months of 1964 are about one fifth below 1963 levels. Beef and veal imports drop about 18 percent January through May while meat and livestock exports rise. Lower Argentine supply and strong European demand push Australia and others to target Europe. Domestic slaughter of cows and lower-grade cattle rises, boosting processing beef supplies for the next two to three years.
