"Better fed cattle and
feeder cattle prices in the
months and years ahead are
inevitable contrary to the
feeling generated by the
Administration's import an
nouncements and the subse
quent adverse psychology and
market slide," according to
Bill Ross, President of the
Oregon Cattlemen's Associa
tion, speaking at the Annual
Wasco County Livestock Asso
ciation picnic in Tygh Valley
on July 9.
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.
