—Lancaster Farming. Saturday. August 7. 1976 84 Cattlemen still DENVER. Colo - The nation's cattle industry has been showing greater than previously expected progress in getting cattle numbers, including the basic cow herd, back into better balance with beef demand, the American National Cattlemen’s Association pointed out last week ANCA cited recent U S Department of Agriculture data on cow slaughter and the U S cattle inventory which suggest that the cow herd and total cattle num bers as of Jan 1, 1977, will be less than levels projected earlier by most analysts. “It is apparent that the reduction phase of the cattle cycle is continuing quite rapidly,” said Wray Finney, ANCA president. “The relatively large slaughter of cows and other cattle this year has resulted in record large beef supplies, com pounding the already ex tremely difficult price problems: of cattle producers and feeders. This also means that the industry may ‘get well’ sooner than many persons expected. “Meanwhile, although we can see the light at the end of the tunnel more clearly, DHIA men honored UNIVERSITY PARK - Jay Mylin and David Har nish, Lancaster County DHLA supervisors, recently received the Distinguished Service Award for out standing service to the DHIA program. The presentations were made at the annual DHIA Supervisors’ Con ference, held here last month. The award is presented by the Penn sylvania Dairy Herd Im provement Association.

Economists with Cattle- Fax, ANCA's market analysis arm, said that the most favorable indicator in the latest government figures was the report that the cow herd as of July 1, 1976, was down seven per cent from a year earlier, and heifers for beef cow replacement were down 12 percent The most bearish price indicator was an in crease of eight to 10 percent in numbers of feeder cattle (both inside and outside of feedlots) over 500 lbs. According to Cattle-Fax, highlights of USDA’s July 1 inventory report included: -The total cattle inventory, at 133.5 million head, was down five percent from a year earlier - the lowest July 1 total since 1973. -Cow slaughter during the first half of the year totaled an estimated 5.1 million head - up 10 percent from 1975, and nine percent more than previously projected, (The projections are monthly and annual cow slaughter rates Recognized along with Mylin and Hamish for DHIA work, were Wilbur Houser, 20 years of service; Harold Lindecamp, 25 years of service; and Harold Breneman, 10 years of service.

The total July 1 cow herd, at 53 8 million head, was down seven percent from a year ago and was the smallest since 1972. Beef cow numbers, at 42 8 million, were off nine percent As of Jan 1, 1977, the total cow herd may be 52 to 53 million, or four to five percent less than a year earlier. -Heifers for beef cow replacement, at 6.5 million, were at the lowest level since mid-year inventory records have been kept. -The only inventory in creases were in * feeder heifers over 500 lbs.

Martin, Auctioneers million, or 10 percent more than a year ago) and in steers over 500 lbs. (18 7 million, up eight percent). In part, this reflects the fact that more cattlemen have gone to stocker or cow-calf stockcr operations, instead of strictly cow-calf operations. The figures also reflect sharp increases in numbers of cattle on feed this year. When one removes the cattle-on-feed factor, numbers of feeder cattle over 500 lbs. which are outside feedlots are up four percent from 1975. -Numbers of calves under 500 pounds were 39.3 million, down eight percent from a year earlier. This reflects continued heavy calf slaughter and the reduced calf crop - the smallest crop since 1971. Calves born in 1976 are now estimated at 46.9 million head, down seven percent from 1975. The sharp calf crop reduction results from poor calving rates in some areas and the likely inclusion of some bred cows in the heavy first-half cow kill.
