CATTLE OUTLOOK GOOD


Economic indicators as the year
ends are largely favorable, with the
outlook for cattIemen generally
good. ''E economic activity has
firmed up" says the latest official
reports. Consumers are continuing
to receive and spend income at rec
ord rates. us. demand for farm
products is described as strong
with farm exports on the rise.
''Cattlemen," the department points
out, ''began filling up their feed lots
earlier this year than last. The number
put on feed through mid-November was
above the same period in 1858. Market
ings of cattle off grass this fall and
winter may be little less than last
year; prices probably will hold at least
as high
Feed costs, the USDA notes, may go
up some. Corn prices have been above
year earlier. Supply of feed concen-
trates is 4 per cent above 1953-54, but
there is about the same amount this
season per animal unit as during last
year. Feed grains and high protein
feeds have been running higher than
a year earlier.
