Thursday, October 30,1$5& THE McHENHY PLAINDEALER Pag* Flri BILLION DOLLARS FOR ONLY CHANCE TO MAKE PROFIT Fanners in the corn belt are investing around a billion dollars in feeder cattle this fall. TVse farmers will supply plenty of fine beef for consumers, but they have only a gambler's chance of making any profit for themselves. Farmers have been paying $25 to $30 a hundred pounds for yearlings and $30 to $35 for calves. These prices are onefourth to one-third higher than last year and the highest since tl^ big bulge in 1951. In the fa™ of 1951, farmers paid over $30 for yearlings and around $40 for calves. Feeder cattle prices this fall are much higher in relation to the fat cattle market than they were in the fall of 1951. At that time choice slaughter steers averaged over $36 a hundred pounds, or nearly $10 higher than recent prices. flfilves costing $34 in the West-will have to bring $26 to $28 at market next fall to pay for feed and other expenses. This is a negative margin of $6 to $8 a hundred pounds. Good-to-choice yearlings on a long feed should break even on a negative margin of $1 to $3. If short-fed they will have to bring cost price in order to pav expenses. Common - to - mftum short-fed steers will have to bring $1 to $3 more than their cost prices ,, in order sto pay their room and board bill. . The supply of fed cattle may be about the same next year as it has been this year. Farmers and ranchers may hold back heifers, but there will be offsetting factors:' The 1958 calf crop in the range states was 3 percent larger this year than last. 2. Reduced calf slaughter, down one-fifth in the first half of this year, may leave more yearlings for feeding and slaughter, as well as for restocking. 3. More stockers and feeders are being imported from Canada find Mexico. 4pExcellent pastures and feed crops this year tend to hold cattle on farms and ranches for a few extra months, but this tendency may be less pronounced next year. The supply of beef declined from 86 pounds per person in 1956 to about 78 pounds this year. Most of this decline has occurred in the past twelve faoirths as farmers reduced maMetings' Of cows. The "beef supply may go down slightly in 1959, but it will remain far above the /meager 56 pounds supplied^, to consumers in 1951. The supply of competitive meats, especially pork, will increase substantially in 1959. Consumers are getting only about 60 pounds of pork this year, the same as in 1954 and othAwise the smallest in twenty years. Next year they may get around 67 pounds, the same as in 1955 and 1956. The supply of poultry meat, about 34 pounds per person this year, will probably be 36 or 37 pounds in 1959. The supply of lamb and mutton will be around 4 pounds, the same as this year. Consumer demand for beef is not likely to increase much in 1959. Consumers may get more money, but pork will fill up the grocery sacks more often than in 1958. And, if families spend tod much for other things, they will often pass up beef in search for cheaper foods. Prices of choice steers at Chicago have averaged close to $24 in each of the past five years. This year the average for the first nine months was almost $28. Most of the major price-lifting forces, however, now seem to be at or past their peak. This price outlook calls for giving special attention to getting low-cost gains and preventing losses from disease and accidents. L. H. Simerl Dept. of Ag. Econ. SERVICE NEWS Pvt. Bernard J.
