says: “We’re on a collision
course with the beef shor
tage.”
Another area m which
Moore sees an upswing is
dairy beef. He says they’ll be
making a comeback this
year because of the shortage
of other kinds of beef. “But it
doesn’t mean milk supplies
will be affected,” he added.
“We’ll be feeding anything
that looks like a beef
animal,” he quipped.
Admitting that cattlemen
who finish cattle won’t be
making huge profits because
of the price they’ll have to
pay for feeders, he
nonetheless speculates that
they’ll be making up for that
with comparatively low feed
costs.
Because of the expected
shortage in beef, Moore ,
predicts that pork produc- '
tion will rise, by 15 per cent i
this year. Much of that will '
depend on the weather, ,
however, he noted, since <
intentions can be wiped out J
quickly by extremely cold < |
weather. The poultry people, | >
on the other hand, can adjust <;
rather quickly to the '
changing meat supplies, and i 1
Moore expects them to take 1 !
full advantage of the slack. ] 1
Moore’s good outlook is
partially reflected by the
statistics of 1978. He points
out that net farm income, at
$26 billion, increased 30 per
cent in 1978 over the
preceding year. “That in
crease was attributed
almost wholly to the pork
and beef industry,” he ex
plained.
Summarizing the feed
situation, Moore says that
supplies will be abundant,
prices will be reasonable,
demand will be excellent,
and the carryover will be too
much.
He sees a good year for
cattlemen from all angles

grilles in the world tells the story of what
economist Louis Moore sees for cattlemen in 1979.
