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.
