Scarcer Meat Looms Say U S Experts
U S meat experts warn the supply will worsen before improving. They cite record cattle slaughter and a shrinking breeding herd since 1944, forecasting a beef shortfall even if cattle numbers stop falling this year. Pork could offset losses if corn costs ease, but pig and lamb prospects look weak. Cattle numbers have fallen to 78.5 million, lowest since 1942, with per person availability dropping toward 143 to 145 pounds in 1948.
