Beef supply growth lowers cattle prices say Iowa economist
ISU economist Gene Futrell notes beef output per person is about 50 pounds higher than 1975 and farm to retail margins widen. Slaughter remains high this summer with July up 2.5 percent and August federally inspected slaughter about 3 percent above last year, boosting total output. He forecasts 1977 beef production near 1975 levels with moderate price gains and potential higher prices in 1978 if slaughter declines further.
