Beef prices may climb Tansy ragwort poisons livestock W eedm aster For consumers, the retail beef price outlook in the next year is for high prices They could rise above present levels, but there is a fairly good chance they could stabilize near the current average of 12 26 a pound iot choice beef, predicts an Oregon State University Extension economist ' Beef prices certainly will remain near the present record high levels If there is an increase at retail, it will come later this spring," said economist Steve Marks HERBICIDE controls tansy ragwort A number of oppming forces could drive prices up or keep them roughly where they are, he stated Short supplies of beef and high consumer demand could push retail beef prices higher this spring The beef supply is being held down as cat tlemen continue to rebuild their herds And cattle slaughter traditionally declines in the spring as the flush grazing season develops. The consumer sector could push beef prices up, too, as demand for beef continues to be strong More people are working, personal income after taxes is up ten percent. people are spending more and saving leas, and the government continues to subsidize low income families, Marks noted Rising feedlot casts could push beef prices up, as well Wholesale and retail beef prices are sensitive to up ward pressures on feedlot coots, Marks pointed out. Since the first of the year, retailers have marked up beef price* immediately after feedlot and wholesale prices went up So there is not likely to be a significant length of time between price increases on the farm and at retail, he said Best time to apply Weedmaster . . . when tansy ragwort is young and actively growing.
