Warning: Some producers start
ed to hold onto heavy cattle in
early fall following summer
price weakness. This could lead
to top-heavy market if trend con

While the feeder market weak
ened in the summer, prices this
fall stayed well above a year
earlier . . . Next year, as more
cattle are fed, feeder demand
will increase, and feeder cattle
prices will stay well above aver
age.
Meat Supply Uptrend
Total red meat supply declined
this year . . . But will resume
uptrend in 1970, with moie fed
beef and pork offsetting smaller
output of veal, lamb, and nonfed
