Author Description

Excerpt from The Beef Cattle Situation, Vol. 11: November 19, 1937 Total slaughter of cattle and calves in 1938 is likely to be smaller than that in 1937, with most of the decrease occurring in the first half of the year. A tendency to hold back breeding stock and to rebuild herds is likely to develop in most areas where numbers have been reduced in recent years because of drought, and this will result in fewer cows, heifers, and calves going to slaughter. Slaughter of steers probably will not be greatly different from that of 1937 and may be slightly larger. In view of the larger feed supplies in prospect as compared with a year earlier, the number of well-finished cattle for market in 1938 will be considerably larger than in 1937. The greatest increase in marketings of such cattle over this year probably will occur during the period from May to October.
