Feeder cattle market outlook eyed into 1968
Iowa State University Extension economist Gene furtrell projects mid October fed cattle prices to hold or rise for months. Chicago steel prices are seen at 26.75 to 28 a head for three to four months with spring and summer 1968 staying strong but below winter. Cattle on feed on Oct 1 rose 2 percent and under 700 pound weights up 13 percent suggesting spring and summer 1968 marketing may exceed 1967. The report notes more wintering of calves and grazing on wheat pastures could curb fall movement while boosting late winter supplies. Total cattle slaughter for the first half of 1968 expected slightly below 1967.
