The total average wholesale price OF

Is 20 cents a pound, but they declare
retailers no longer buy side OF beer,
or even q quarter of beef. but buy what
are known as wholesale cuts. There

OF beef. II the public demands sirloin
steaks and refuses to take round steaks
and chuck steaks, then the price OF
the round and chuck steaks. which can
not be sold. must be added to the price
OF the sirloin cuts.
The troubles Of the packers and the
retailers, however, bear little on the
producer. For the coming season his
struggle will be first with the weather.
then with the price of the forage crop,
and finally with transportation The
latter factor is In more satisfactory
situation than it has ever been before
in the history of the cattle industry.
especially In view of the fact that the
supplies OF cattle available for slaugh-
ter in 1928 probably will be decidedly
lower than in 1927. This would 1ndi-
cate that there will be no special reduc-
ton in price in the cost OF beef for
the American dinner table.

Cattle Raisers to Build

are selling their calves before they are
born. Contracts are being made today
all over the range country Of Texas
and in some of the adjoining States
calling for $40 head for mixed calves
at weaving time next Fall.
These prices would have seemed al
most beyond their dreams three years
ago, but the demand for beef cattle
still continues tremendously brisk. The
cattlemen all over the United states
are building up their herds. which they
had been compelled 10 cut down every
year because of their financial situa-
ton and the debts which hung heavy
over their heads. In 1927 they virtual
" cleared themselves OF indebtedness
Now they face a profit.
However, they still have to gamble
with the weather. Range conditions In
Texas, as a whole. are not as promls-
inc as they were in January. although
the nerds are doing well on the present
supply of grass and water. Lack OF
moisture also is feared IN some OF the
other range communities.
Feeders See Prosperity Ahead.
The feeders however. are looking for
ward to a remarkably prosperous period.
Even at present prices OF corn and
other fodder their returns have been
extraordinarily high There Is every
probability the demand will continue
and that the supply will be short.
The effort to curtail the demand for
beef and beef products by retailers and
consumers. although 1t was backed by
determination. has not had a material
effect on the situation. Buying ROVER
has been high and the call for beet
as compared to pork and some other
meat products has been increased by
the weather conditions which obtained
