The U.S. Department of Agriculture report on live stock numbers as of July 1, show significant decreases in numbers of all types of cattle. This includes a decrease of another 5 per cent in the cow herd putting cow numbers about 15 per cent less than the mid-year peak on July 1, 1975. Ross cited these positive factors in the market outlook: Cow slaughter continues larger than expected and the cow herd is decreasing by another 1 to 14 million head during 1978. More heifers than expected have gone into the feeding slaughter stream, meaning a further decline in the cow herd before expansion can begin again. While cattle-on-feed num bers are up, the cattle going on feed have averaged lighter than a year earlier which means less total beef output in the months ahead than one might assume. Non-fed slaughter continues well below a year earlier, and total beef ouput will continue to decline in the months ahead. This downtrend in tonnage will intensify as the declines in cattle numbers are reflected to a greater extent in marketings. "As has been the case recently," Ross noted, "there will be short-term fluctuations in the market, both up and down for psychological as well as basic supply and demand reasons, but the trend into the early 1980's inevitably is one of declining per capita supplies. And there is no way those positive fundamentals can be changed. "The basic cattle numbers situation is far different now from that at the time of the market down-trend in 1973-74. This is because the industry is now emerging from rather than going into the liquidation phase of the cattle cycle. Cattle numbers no longer are large enough to permit sus tained periods of burdensome supplies in relation to de mand. And demand continues to improve on a longer term basis because of population and income growth." Here are some of the highlights of the July 1 cattle inventory projections: The total cattle herd will be around 123-124 million, down 4 to 6 per cent from a year earlier. (Also, the total herd next Jan. 1 will be down by 3 or 4 million from a year earlier. ) The July 1 cow herd is estimated at 49-49.5 million, or at least 5 to 6 per cent less than a year earlier. Total feeder cattle numbers will be about 5 per cent less than a year earlier and the supply of calves and yearlings outside of feedlots will be around 8 per cent less than on July 1 last year. Replacement heifer holding should soon be stablizing, after decreasing sharply during the liquidation phase of the cattle cycle and this will be a positive longer term factor. printing 676-9228 V;
