Mid-Spring Slump Seen by OSC For Cattle, Hog Prices Cattle and hog prices appear headed for a mid-spring slump getting off to an excellent start in 1958, reports W Y Fowler, Ore gon State college livestock mark eting specialist. LIveweight prices for choice cattle that recently reached $29 a hundredweight highest price since November 1952 are like ly to drop $3 In April and May with some piling up of market ings. Fowler says cattle market ed in the next three months may also weigh heavier than usual. The specialist looks for prices to recover slightly this summer hut tint hark to nresent high levels. Slaughter cattle prices next fall will be tied closely to pork supplies, that are likely to be heavy, and to general busi ness conditions. Fowler says 1958 looks like a record year for cattle feeding. Coupled with this is the prospect of considerable beef from for eign countries arriving on West Coast markets soon. With large beef supplies tend ing to lower prices, most profits in cattle feeding will have to come from weight gains rather than any price differential be tween feeder and slaughter grad es, the specialist explains. Meanwhile, the present build up in tattle numbers appears headed for a cutback with few er beef cows and heifers on U S farms now than a year ago. Fow ler believes the down-trend is likely to continue for a year or two, level out, and start up by 1960 or 1961. Hog prices probably have hit a high, the specialist reports, while pork prices may hold up better than beef this spring, larg er marketings, heavier animals and lower prices are predicted for next fall. This Is a result of a large spring pig crop through out the nation and plentiful feed supplies. HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday, March 27. 1958 f.
