Beef cattle outlook from Iowa Farm Outlook
Iowa State University economist Gene Futrell says beef cattle prospects look good for the next few years if replacements are bought at realistic prices and cattle are marketed when finished. Feeder cattle prices may rise, feeder supply 66 67 likely tight, beef cow numbers could climb again in 1967 if heifers are held for breeding, feeding profits remain moderately good, and pork competition grows later this year and in 1967.
