of cattle on feed were up 10 per
cent. Some feedlot operators
have indicated it has been dif
ficult to find feeder cattle, but
it appears that enough animals
have been available
So far this fall, feeder steer
prices have been steady. This
Crib Filler
corresponds to a steady-to
stronger market for fed cattle.
The strength for finished cattle
has helped hold up the price for
feeders. If fed cattle prices
weaken later this fall, this will
have a direct effect on the
price of feeder cattle. Feed
costs are currently less than a
year ago, and a large crop of
corn and other feed grains is
being harvested. Large sup
plies of feed at low prices help
strengthen the demand for feed
ers.
Some producers are holding
their feeder cattle a little longer
this year because of unusually
good grass, especially in the
west. These cattle will come to
market as feeders later in the
season and at heavier weights.

Federal Order
# 2 Presidents
State Issue
“While the results of the Posi
tive Letter during the past six
months have been most encour
aging, we must strive for even
greater dairymen participation
in the future”, said the presi
dents of the five major Federal
Order #2 milk cooperatives in a
combined statement.
“We now know that two out
of three dairy farmer members
of milk cooperatives are cur
rently investing in the milk pro-
motion programs of American
Dairy Association and Dairy
Council of New York, and that
this figure has held virtually
unchanged since the Positive
Letter was sent. We urge the
support of those dairymen who
have not yet taken advantage of
the opportunity to actively pro
mote their product to do so.”
“We also note that over seven
hundred dairymen have signed
individual authorizations since
the Positive Letter was sent.
However, we must have broad
ened support and we encourage
not only our members, but non
cooperative producers to fulfill
their responsibility in milk pro
duction.”
“Also, in a series of meetings
around the milkshed, our staff
personnel will be completely
brought up to date on the 1969
ADA & DC programs of milk
promotion so they will be in an
even better position to assure
dairymen of the need for such
piograms ”
