T Agricultural
Foundation In its cattle marketing Investigations, has In­
spired a much greater confidence in the future of the industry. The first re­
covery of the beef cattle market came early In 1025 with a steadily progress­
ing trend of prices from February to August. The average prices paid to
farmers, states the Foundation, In the first ten months of the year ran 65
cents higher than the prices of last year and the highest since 1920. Chicago
prices were also the highest for that period for the last five years.
Liquidation of western cattle herds was much less noticeable In 1925 than
in any year since 1919, showing that the cattle industry Is gradually getting
back to a state of normalcy. The total number of cattle, slaughtered under
federal Inspection In 1925, was 5 per cent greater than In 1924.
Baby beef, made from young cattle that have been pushed to a desirable
market weight of around 1,000 pounds at an early age, brought the highest
prices. Public demand for smaller cuts of choice beef have made the half-ton
baby beef popular on the market
