Meat Animal
Production At
Record High
Production oi meat animals in
1955 soared to a record volume
of almost 27 billion pounds, and
Americans are eating more meat
today than they have in the last
47 years-
Such are the highlights of a
USDA report which gives per
capita consumption at 161 lbs this
year, largest in the last 47 years.
Consumer demand, increased sup
plies and lower feed costs were
credited w'th lire record-
Hog? To Level -Out
Production of meat next year
should remain very close to the
volume. Hog production,-now
swinging upward, may level out
or move lower in 1956, but slaugh
ter totals are expected to surpass
the 1955 figures Cattle numbers
and .slaughter, at a high mark
this year, may taper down a bit
next year. Sheep numbers are ex
pected to be lower in January.
The increase in hog production
marked two years in a row that
supplies have moved higher, in
face of skidding prices. Current
ly the USDA is buying pork and
lard in an effort to bolster the
market- The cosi of this program,
Secretary Benson advises, ipay
be around $B5 million-
Spring Pigs Gain
Spring pige increased 9 per
cent, and a prospective 10 per
cent fall pig Increase- is -likely-
However, She corn-hog ratio is
also not far above average, with
lower prices for that feed gram.
The 1956 spring crop is not ex
pected to change much from 1955,
but marked reauction may occur
