By 1980 consumers will
require about 100 pounds of
beef per person, while total beef
requirements will be about 2.6
billion pounds. This is up 45
percent from actual
consumption in 1968,
Professor R. G. Marshall,
Department of Agricultural
Economics, University of
Guelph, speaking at the recent
Forage and Seed Trade Day at
the university, told delegates
that several factors will have an
influence on how well future
beef requirements will be met.
"We will have to rely on
increased cattle numbers to
provide our added beef
requirements to a much greater
extent than we have in the
past," he said. "There will be
pressure for growth on the
cow-calf forage consuming
segment of the industry. Since
the mid-1950's there has been a
50 percent increase in beef
output with less than 'a 25
percent increase in calf
production; about half of the
added beef came from feeding
cattle to heavier weights. In the
years to come, the next 50
percent . increase in beef
production will have to be
accompanied by an increase in
calf population of almost the
same magnitude."
On the feedlot side there will
probably be a problem of too
much rather than too little, as
the diversion into feed grains
and livestock feeding continues.
"The Achilles heel of the
industry is on the cow-calf side,"
said Professor Marshall. "In the
west, acreage will be diverted
out of wheat, and some'of it will
go back to grass and be used to
build up beef herds. We had a
fairly rapid buildup of cattle
inventories in the 1950's that
coincided with a decline in grain
acreage."
However, Professor Marshall
pointed out that the decline of
cattle inventories during the past
few years coincided with an
increase in grain acreage — the'
result of the mistaken belief of
western farmers that there
would be a ready market for all
wheat produced.
"It appears," he said, "that
for the first time in recent years,
there will be a growing
awareness in Eastern Canada of
the need for an expanded output
of Ontario-raised feeder cattle."
Until recently eastern cattlemen
have found it easier to rely on
western feeders for about 60%
of the cattle fed in Ontario,
Thera appears to be little
doubt, says Professor Marshall,
that Canadian cattlemen are
going to be asked to produce
more feeder cattle. "Higher
consumer prices have been the
signal to consumers that there
isn't as much beef on the market
as they would have bought at
past prices, and higher farm
prices are a signal to producers
that they have underestimated
the market and that more beef is
required."
Sees steady
beef prices
Beef prices may show little
change from those of late
September according to the
Canada Department of
Agriculture's November food
outlook. Pork prices may
weaken some in response to a
seasonal increase in
slaughterings, while broiler
chicken will be in plentiful
supply at lower prices.
Beef—Prices may show little

levels.
Pork—Prices may weaken
some in response to a seasonal
increase in slaughterings.
Eggs—Plentiful supplies with
some easing of prices.
Poultry meat—Broiler chicken
will be in plentiful supply at
lower prices. Large supplies of
roaster chicken will be available
at lower prices. Turkey hens and
broilers will be in relatively
scarce supply at firm prices;
heavy turkeys, 16 pounds and
up, will be in adequate supply at
advancing prices.
Potatoes—Ample supplies
with prices remaining low.
Apples—Supplies will be large
and prices mainly unchanged.
Pears—Supplies heavy with
prices unchanged.
Cranberries—Good supplies at
seasonal prices!
Cabbage, carrots,
rutabagas—Heavy seasonal
supplies at moderately firm
prices.
Onions—Adequate supplies
with prices unchanged.
Warble flies and grubs are no
longer the problem they once
were, but they can still cause
serious discomfort and loss of
production in dairy cattle unless
treated.
The Live Stock Commission
of the Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food reports
that using systemic insecticides
in the fall of the year following
any warble fly activity will give
98 percent control of the grub
before it migrates through the
body and brings on production
loss.
Systemic insecticides can be
Length counts in
Although the length of a pig
carcass is now , of little
impoitance in predicting the
retail value of a carcass, it is still
a characteristic that should not
be forgotten when female
breeding stock is selected.
Mr. J. G. Norrish, Swine
Specialist with the Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food, reports that under the
revised carcass, grading system,
length plays little or no part in
arriving at the index value of the
applied in spray or pour-on
form. The three products
licensed for use in Ontario are:
Co-Ral, a spray; Neguvon, a
pour-on; and Ruelene, which is
both a spray and a pour-on.
Dairy heifers, which are most
susceptible to the disease, can be
treated with these products, but
cows, whose milk is being
shipped for human consumption
should never be treated in this
way.
An Information Leaflet
entitled War on Warbles is
available from the Information
Branch, Ontario Department of
pig stock
carcass. Backfat thickness
combined with weight groupings
is the main method of carcass
indexing.
Farmers can thus disregard
length in market pigs, says Mr.
Norrish, but because length is a
highly inherited characteristic, it
should not be overlooked in
selecting breeding stock. A
moderately long gilt is much
more likely to produce a
good-sized litter than is a short
animal.
