Farmers' Outlook PLENTY OF JUICY STEAKS AND ROAST BEEF ARE AHEAD There is plenty of good eating ahead for people who like juicy steak and1 roast beef. These tasty treats will come from tihe cattle that farmers will be fattening for market dining the next few months. On April l, farmers in fourteen major feeding states had more than 4\'2 million cattle on feed, according to the USDA. This number is 12 percent more than were on feed a year ago and it is about 10 percent more than two years ago, which was the previous record high for this time of the year. The most spectacular increase in cattle feeding is in California, where some 318,000 (head Were reported in feedlots on April 1. This numbeor is 54 percent more than were on feed there one year before. California, however, had only 7 percent of the total cattle on feedi in the fourteen major feeding states. Corn Belt. -- Illinois farmers had an estimated 555,000 head of cattle on feed -- 11 percent more than one year before. Nine corrt-belt states reported 3,671,000 head -- 8 percent more than last year. Look for, plerotiful market supplies of fed cattle through May and June. Of the cattle on feed April 1, farmers intended to sell Home Improvements KARL SCHNAREL CARY, ILLINOIS Phone MErcury 9-7233 • Insulation • Storm Windows • Asbestos Siding • Fibre Glass Awnings • Ornamental Iron Works • Fencing • Landscaping 45 percent before July 1 compared with 43 percent last ypar. Partners in JJie »tii.ree leading states, Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska, indicated 'that ithey would sell about one million fat cattle before July l r-- 17 percent more than were planned last year. However, actual marketing probably will not show such a large increase as is indicated by •farmers' intentions. Expected marketings after July 1 are indicated to be up about 7 percent from last year. Here are more important facts from the report of cattle on feed April 1: 1. Inshipments. .-- 3uipmeirLd of cattle into the corn belt during the first (three months of this year were 11 percent larger than during the same period a year ago. 2. Number Started On Feed -- Farmers in the three leading states, Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska, put 10 percent more cattle on feed, during fc'.ie three months than they did last year. 3. Weights. -- The increase in numbers being fed consists enitirely of cattle weighing less than 1,100 pounds. Numbers weighing oyer 1,100 pounds show a reduction of about 13 percent from last year. However, these heavy weights make up only about 4 percent of the total cattle fed in these three states. 4. Kinds On Feed. ---• Most of the increase in cattle on feed consists of steers, but the largest percentage gains were recorded for heifers. Numbers of steers on feed in the tifcree states were estimated at 1\<> million head - or 6 percent more than •last year. Numbers of heifers on feed were estimated at 382.000 head -- 23 percent more than a year before. Calves on feed were estimated at 485,000 -- 12 percent more than were being fed oh April l last year. 5. Time On Feed. -- In the three leading states, only about 72,000 cattle -- 30 percent less than last year -- had been on .feed more than six months; 1,- 446,000 head -- or 12 percent more than last year -- had been on feed three to. six months. Tlie number on feed less than three months is estimated at 881,000 head -- or 18 percent; more than last year. Some of the, prospective increase in marketings of fed cattle may be offset by smaller supplies erf cheaper bee!f and by increased consumer demand. Even so, it appears that the seasonal declined in prices of choice cattle may carry into the early summer, while prices for the middle and lower grades may not rise as much as usual this spring.
