'WALGREEN AGENCY" JEWEL SHOPPING PLAZA NATION'S HERD PROVES SMALLER THAN EXPECTED We don't have as many cattle as we thought. We, don't suspect rustlers. It is just that Uncle Sam's statisticians apparently have been overestimating' cattle numbers since the 1954 census. When the boys saw the 1959 census figures, they revised their previous estimates for 1960--and back through 1956. This is customary procedure after each census. But the revisions are much bitrger this time than usual. It seems that not enough allowance had been made for the reduction ig numbers of farms and ranches. Things are changing so fast now that statistics are out of date even before electronic machines can print the tape. The new estimates for Jan. 1 of this year show only 97,- 139,000 head of cattle and calves on farms and ranches. That is 7 percent less than was expected on the basis of previous estimates. It is only onehalf million more than the number reported by the USDA two years ago! It now appears that the reduction in cattle numbers from 1955 to 1958 was about 5% million instead of only 31^ million as had been believed. With this change in the figures, the most recent cattle cycle appears to be quite normal. We should point out, however, that the present estimate is only half a million more than the number shown for the previous peak in 1955. Numbers of dairy cattle, especially, were smaller than had been expected. These estimates were reduced by around 8 percent. The estimates of numbers of beef cattle were cut back only about 4 percent. Here's how the numbers of various classes of beef cattle compare with last year, and with the number on hand at the peak of the previous cycle in 1955 (in comparing present numbers of cattle with figures for 1955 and' 1956, remember that our population is about 8 percent greater than it was "five years ago.) ALL BEEF CATTLE -- 67.2 million head, up 2 percent from a year before and 10 percent more than in 1955. STEERS -- 10.9 million, up 4 percent from 1960 and 13 percent more than at the previous peak in 1956. BEEF HEIFERS-- 7.0 million, the same as last year and 8 percent more than in 1955. BEEF CALVES --20.6 million. 1 percent more than a year ago and 8 percent more than at the previous peak in 1956. . BEEF COWS -- 27.0 million, 2 percent more than a year ago and only 5 percent more than the previous peak in 1955. The- revised estimates of cattle numbers should give us new confidence in the cattle market. Marketings of cattle now seem likely to be only a little larger this year than in 1960. Drouth, of course, could force farmers and ranchers to sell more than normal numbers. Several states have received less than normal precipitation this winter. L. H.
