Stocks of wheat located in Oregon farm and commercial storages
on April 1, 1973 totaled 22,3f.2,(KH) bushels, 11 percent below the 25

Livestock Reporting Service. Farm stored wheat was 6 percent

Idaho) wheat supplies in all storage positions were one-fourth less
than the same date in 1972-farm storages were 43 percent less than
a year ago while off -farm storages were down 17 percent.

OREGON SLAUGHTER REPORT
FEBRUARY 1973
Red meat commercially slaughtered in Oregon during February
1973 totaled 14,005,000 pounds, according to the Oregon Crop and
Livestock Reporting Service. This was a decrease of about 21
percent from the 17,637,000 pounds produced during February 1972.
Beef production during February was 19 percent below the
amount produced during February 1972. Pork production was off 36
percent from a year ago. Slightly off-setting the drop in beef and
pork production were increases in calf, and sheep and lamb
slaughter.
Boy cotters Need to
Think Things Through
During the past several months there has been considerable
misunderstanding, misconceptions and mis-statements about the
food-price-relationship. Meat and food prices are way out of line
according to boycott ers, consumer groups, congressmen and even
President Nixon, who pointed his finger at the red meat industry.
What I would like to do today is calm down the consumer emotional
pitch and try to put some reason and factual perspective in the
overall food-price controversy picture, so stated Donald Ostensoe.
Executive Vice-President, Oregon Cattlemen's Assn., speaking
before "The Consumers Fact Finding Council of Oregon" at thir
organizational meeting at the Ramada Inn in Portland Wednesday
afternoon, April 11, 1973. Recently the Wall Street Journal stated in
a front page story that personal income has more than doubled as years. During the evening

48-STATE FEBRUARY RED MEAT PRODUCTION
DOWN 5 PERC ENT FROM 1972
Commercial production of red meat in the 48 States totaled 2,720
million pounds in February, down 5 percent from a year earlier.
Commercial meat production includes slaughter in federally
inspected and other slaughter plants, but excludes animals
slaughtered on farms.
The number of slaughter days, excluding 1 legal holiday, during
February 1973 included 19 weekdays and 4 Saturdays, compared
with 20 weekdays and 4 Saturdays during February 1972.
Beef Production 3 Percent Below A Year Earlier: Beef
production in February was 1,672 million pounds, down 3 percent
from the 1,715 million pounds produced in February 1972. The
number of cattle slaughtered was down 4 percent. Average live
weight was 1.047 pounds, 2 pounds more than a year earlier.
February Veal Production Down 22 Percent From A Year
Earlier: There were 29 million pounds of veal produced in
February 1973, down 22 percent from February 1972. Calves
slaughtered were down 25 percent. Average live weight was 255
pounds, up 14 pounds over the previous year.
Pork Production Down 9 Percent From February 1972: Pork
production in February totaled 980 million pounds, down 9 percent
from a year ago. The number of hogs slaughtered was down 11
percent. Live weight per head at 237 pounds was up 3 pounds from a
year earlier. Lard rendered per 100 pounds of live weight was 6.7
pounds compared with 7.0 pounds in February 1972.
Lamb And Mutton Down 11 Percent From A Year Earlier: There
were 39 million pounds of lamb and mutton produced in February
1973, down 11 percent from a year earlier. Sheep and lamb
slaughter totaled 721,000 head, down 13 percent. Average live
weight at 109 pounds was 1 pound above both a year ago and last
month.
income from 1965 through January 1, 1973. It stated that over this
period of time retail food prices were up 33 percent and per capita
income was up 62 percent, nearly double.
Consumers take their wage hikes for granted, but when some of
that extra pay has to be spent on increased food costs they get
terribly upset.
Results of Meat Boycott
It appears that the red meat boycott was somewhat successful. In
some areas of this nation red meat sales were off as much as 40
percent and 50 percent. Here in Oregon it is estimated that sales
were off 12 percent to 15 percent. However, this is not the answer to
lower meat or food prices.
I would like to suggest to the boycotters and groups that were
picketing supermarkets that it would do more good and make more
sense for them to understand one of the prime causes of inflation. It
is deficit spending. Therefore, it would really make more sense if
they would picket and boycott congressmen who vote to perpetuate
deficit goverment spending.
It is anticipated that every man, woman, and child in the US will
consume 116 pounds of beef during the 1973. This compares to 82
pounds of beef per person in 1960.
Oregon and the nation's cattle producers and feeders are
responding to the consumer demand for our product. As of April 1,
1973 there were 8 percent more beef cattle in feedlots than one year
earlier. As of February 1, 1973 there were 6 percent more beef cows
(our manufacturing plants) which in turn means larger supplies of
beef for the years ahead.
