May slaughter drops
DENVER, Colo. - The
number of cows slaughtered
in May was down from a
year ago, but the total still
was about the same as
previously projected for the
month. Also, slaughter totals
for the first five months of
1976 remained ahead of a

year earlier and ahead of
projections.
In its regular monthly
report on U. S. cow numbers,
the American National
Cattlemen’s Association
pointed out that cow
slaughter in May totaled
739,000 head - down seven
percent from the same
month in 1975 but up one
percent from the previously
projected May total.
'Die projections referred to
by ANCA are monthly and
annual cow slaughter rates
previously estimated as
being needed in 1976 to
balance cow herd size with
beef demand and today’s
production cost levels. The
estimates were made by
economists with Cattle-Fax,
the market analysis service
sponsored by ANCA.
Finney said cow slaughter
rates during the remainder
of 1976 will depend on
weather and grass con
ditions as well as industry
economic and seasonal
trends.

Pitfalls of regulation for explained
LANCASTER “While
many may complain bitterly
about the restrictions im
posed upon our businesses by
government agencies,
there’s one thing we tend to
forget. We forget that in our
society the government is
representative of our
people.”
That’s the opinion of Ar
thur Fogerty, who has spent
16 years as a public relations
director for both government
and private concerns. He’s
currently PR director for
Agway, Inc. He made his
comments at Penn State’s
annual feed conference, held
here at the Sheraton-
Conestoga Motor Lodge last
week.
“Government regulations
have come about in many
areas because Americans
distrust bigness and power.
They don’t want business to
get too big, or labor unions to
get too powerful, so the
means an extra margin of safety
from urea toxicity-that’s import
ant when self-feeding liquid
supplement.

Cargill research. It’s great for dairy

people tell their government
representatives to regulate
these groups.
“But what do people fear
today? They fear big
government. Big govern
ment is under attack by both
the liberals and con
servatives. The usefulness of
many government agencies
is being questioned.
Regulatory agencies too
often exist outside the
control of representative
government, and there are
moves afoot to change that.”
Fogerty said one problem
he sees with regulations is
that too many of the
regulators have never been
exposed to the realities of
production. Most of the
people in this country have
never worked at mining,
manufacturing or
agriculture,” he said. “And

when they get into govern
