Special guest speaker was
Mr. Wray Finney, an
Oklahoma rancher, who is
serving as the Vice
President of the American
National Cattlemen’s
Association. Mr. Finney
explained the problems with
the over supply of beef
cattle, which has depressed
market prices, and reduced
profits of the beef business,
and has even caused great
financial losses for some of
the larger beef cattle
operators. He expects it will
take a few years before the
over supply situation is
corrected, and when once
again beef can be produced
by farmers and cattlemen at
a profit. Finney expressed
concern that many beef
cattle producers may not
continue to produce beef,
which will result eventually
in beef shortages and less
than maximum utilization of
the land resources in the
United States.
Finney cited actual data in
which approximately four
