Outlook For
Beef Said Good
Prices of cattle should rise some
further in 1958, according to John
McHaney, extension economist.
However, he adds that prices af-
ter 1958 will depend to a greet
extent on the general level of bus-
iness activity.
The inventory of cattle and
calves on January 1 1957, showed
a further reduction in 1957 and on
Jan. 1, 1958, numbers were prob-
ably down to about two million
head from the 95.2 million head
on Jan. 1, 1957.
Less cows will probably be
slaughtered in 1958, says the econ-
omist Cattle producers did not
withhold many cows from
slaughter until the last part of
1957, but more are likely to be
withheld in 1958. However, this
may not reverse the cattle cycle in
1958, because last year's reduc-
tion will mean a smaller 1958 calf
crop. But it will reduce total cat-
tle slaughter and total beef out-
put in 1958.
Ranges and pastures over much
of Texas have a good growth of
winter grass and weeds. This feed,
plus small grains, stubble fields,
cured grass and ample hay re-
serves should carry stock through
the winter In good condition,
points out McHaney. All range
feed In the state was reported at
80 percent condition on Jan. 1,
1958. This compares with 51 per-
cent on Jan. 1., 1957, and 69 per-
cent for the ten-year average to
this date. The improved range
conditions have created a good de-
mand for range cattle which
should continue in 1958 assuming
favorable moisture conditions.
McHaney says that little change
is likely in the total meat output
in 1958. There will probably be a
reduction in the slaughter of cat-
tle and calves, but there will like-
ly be an increase in the slaughter
of hogs. Heavy carcass weights
for cattle will also help maintain
the output Lower pork prices dur-
ing the latter part of 1958 will
certainly make pork more compet-
itive with beef. 1
