Book Description
Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation, Vol. 102: May 1959 Cyclical expansion in cattle numbers has moved into full swing. Cattle and calf slaughter in january-april was about ll percent below a year earlier. Slaughter of well-finished cattle was up, but that of all other classes was sharply lower. This slaughter rate indicates that a build-up of h to 5 million in cattle inventories during 1959 is underway. Such an increase would approach the fastest rate of expansion during the last cattle cycle. If it continues, it will end all hope of avoiding the overexpansion that brought distress in the last cycle. It would result in severe price declines in the early l96o's.
