Higher Beef Cattle Prices Seen Over 18 Months
Washington Aug 25 Predicted by Agriculture officials that beef cattle prices will rise over the next 18 months with an upward trend likely in two to three years. Fewer calves and breedings, smaller crops of cattle, and no foreign competition expected to affect the market. Consumer demand expected to stay strong in the coming year though possibly slightly lower than last year. Increased hog competition in 1927 may influence beef prices.
