With only a small number of replacement heifers likely to calve and enter the herd during 1985, the January 1, 1986, in ventory is likely to drop another 2 to 3 percent,” he explains. Beef and veal production through 1985, however, is not likely to be seriously affected by the lower January 1 inventory, according to Nalivka. “Production is ex pected to be up about 2 percent during the first quarter of 1985. Fed cattle marketings slowed during December, resulting in an overflow of finished cattle into January Beef production, though, will likely decline over the remainder of the year, ending down about 2 to 4 percent from a year earlier,” he says. “With stronger cattle prices likely during 1985, cattle producers should receive a positive net return. However, sharp gains will probably be limited by large total meat supplies through the end of the decade.” rsn% v daiiyf A numhi K
