Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation, Vol. 30: August 1949 When more cattle are grain fed, for market rather than slaughtered off range or pasture, their average weight is increased and the beef pro duced is of a higher grade. The increased grain feeding in 1949 shows up particularly in the larger number and heavier weights of steers slaughtered. In the first 6 months, 20 percent more steers were slaughtered under Federal inspection than a year earlier. Since their weight was up 33 pounds to an average of pounds, total production'of steer beef was 24 percent larger The increased number of steers and their heavier weights-brought the average weight of all cattle slaughtered under Federal inspection in the first 6 months this year up to 989 pounds, compared with 953 pounds in the same 6 months of last year.

Download or read book The Livestock and Meat Situation Vol 31 written by U. S. Bureau Of Agricultural Economics and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation, Vol. 31: September, 1949 September less meat is likely to be sold from storage than in the compa rable month of 1948. Supplies of beef the rest of this year will be influenced on the one hand by the prospective larger number of grain-fed cattle, and on the other hand by the fewer grass cattle, that will be slaughtered this year compared'with last. More cattle have been fed this year than in 1948; on August 1, the increase in the number on feed in the Corn Belt was 24 per cent. Consequently, slaughter of grain-fed cattle this fall will exceed that of last year. How many grass cattle will go to slaughter will be governed mainly by the number of cattle put into feed lots, since sale of twe-way cattle as feeders removes them.from.the immediate supply for slaughter. The most likely prospect is that eattle slaughter will have less of a seasonal peak this fall than usual and that the total number slaughtered in the last months of the year will be slightly smaller'than in the same neriod of 1948. Since weights per head.will be beatier, beef production may be as large or slightly larger than in late 1948.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation, Vol. 91: August 1957 If general economic factors affecting cattle remain about as in 1957, numbers might not decrease as long or as far as usual. The low point might come in 1959 or 1960, and at around 92 million head. This is an estimate built on year-to-year projections of cow numbers, calf cr0p and slaughter rate, summary data for which are in table 6. A reduction in cattle inventories begins when prices (current and prospective) are unprofitably low relative to the factors involved in produc tion. Range and feed conditions, costs of purchased feeds, other cost rates, and the availability and cost of financing. Similarly, numbers are built up again when the price outlook is favorable relative to those factors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Should We Eat Meat written by Vaclav Smil and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meat eating is often a contentious subject, whether considering the technical, ethical, environmental, political, or health-related aspects of production and consumption. This book is a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary examination and critique of meat consumption by humans, throughout their evolution and around the world. Setting the scene with a chapter on meat’s role in human evolution and its growing influence during the development of agricultural practices, the book goes on to examine modern production systems, their efficiencies, outputs, and impacts. The major global trends of meat consumption are described in order to find out what part its consumption plays in changing modern diets in countries around the world. The heart of the book addresses the consequences of the "massive carnivory" of western diets, looking at the inefficiencies of production and at the huge impacts on land, water, and the atmosphere. Health impacts are also covered, both positive and negative. In conclusion, the author looks forward at his vision of “rational meat eating”, where environmental and health impacts are reduced, animals are treated more humanely, and alternative sources of protein make a higher contribution. Should We Eat Meat? is not an ideological tract for or against carnivorousness but rather a careful evaluation of meat's roles in human diets and the environmental and health consequences of its production and consumption. It will be of interest to a wide readership including professionals and academics in food and agricultural production, human health and nutrition, environmental science, and regulatory and policy making bodies around the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation, Vol. 47: January, 1951 Reports on numbers of cattle on feed and of hogs to be raised point to a moderate increase in meat production for 1951 compared with 1950. On January 1 a record number of cattle were on feed 5 percent more than last year, There were 2 percent more on feed in the Corn Belt this year than last and 15 percent more in the western States. However, the numbers on feed January 1 included an unusually large proportion of cattle of light weight, which will not reach market until late in the year. Prospects are that total beef production for the year will be moderately larger than last year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation, Vol. 102: May 1959 Cyclical expansion in cattle numbers has moved into full swing. Cattle and calf slaughter in january-april was about ll percent below a year earlier. Slaughter of well-finished cattle was up, but that of all other classes was sharply lower. This slaughter rate indicates that a build-up of h to 5 million in cattle inventories during 1959 is underway. Such an increase would approach the fastest rate of expansion during the last cattle cycle. If it continues, it will end all hope of avoiding the overexpansion that brought distress in the last cycle. It would result in severe price declines in the early l96o's.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation, Vol. 79: Aug. 15, 1955 Strong demand will likely support prices of feeder cattle this fall. No more than moderate seasonal declines are likely, and margins between prices of feeders and fed cattle are expected to be relatively narrow. As prices of feed will be lower, profits in feeding this coming season may be close to average. Prices of hogs dropped sharply from their June high. Prices through out the fall will be considerably below last fall. They may reach their seasonal low late in the year. Prices of lambs declined in late June and July, and in early August were about the same as a year before. Some further seasonal drop may occur.

Download or read book The Livestock and Meat Situation Vol 107 written by United States Department Of Agriculture and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation, Vol. 107: January 1960 Cattle slaughter was above a year ago in the final 2 months of 1959 after lagging behind a year earlier for approximately 2 years. Calf slaugh ter in commercial plants was also near the previous year's rate for the first time since the fall of 1957. These developments reflect a continued high rate of fed cattle marketings plus some slackening in withholdings for herd expansion. Fed cattle will make up the bulk of slaughter supplies this winter and spring and will continue large throughout the year. However, marketing of grass cattle next summer and fall will likely be moderately larger than during these seasons in 1959. Sheep and lamb slaughter has been significantly larger than a year earlier since July. As the 1959 lamb crop was up only 2 percent, slaughter this winter is expected to drop below last winter. Price advances will be moderated by liberal supplies of competing meats, but prices should soon rise seasonally up to or a little above last winter.
