MEAT PRICES HAVE
GONE MUCH HIGHER
Farmers Urged Not To
Sell At Prices Below
Market Quotations
North Carolina farmers are being
cautioned not to sell their beef cat
tle, hogs at prices lower
than present 'market quotations.
A number of farmers not in close
touch with the market have sold
their animals recently for one-half
or a. third of their value, says L. I.
Case, animal husbandman at State
College.
Beef prices have risen about 60
per cent and pork prices have ap
proximately doubled within the past
year, Case said, and the rices paid
local farmers should go up accord
ingly.
Although prices paid for livestock
at the farm cannot equal those paid
at central markets, Case added,
growers should not sell their meat
animals without checking up care
fully to see what they are worth.
The current outlook gives prom
ise of a continuation of the present
price level, he stated, and local
growers need not dispose of their
stock now for fear that prices will
tumble in the near future.
The weekly average for all steers
on the Chicago market was $7.15
the first week in December and
$10.57 the last week in February.
Choice grades rose from $9.29 to
$13.39 and low, or common, grade
rose from $3.72 to $4.50. Interme
diate grades increased proportion
ately.
Stocker and feeder prices have
risen cort-espondingly. Early in De
cember the prices ranged from $2.50
to $5.50 for various grades; in Jan
uary the scale was up to a $5-$9
range. Good slaughter cows ad
vanced from $5.25 to $9.50.
The price of lambs has not in
creased as much. Case pointed out,
but added that it did not go as low
as beef and pork during the depres
sion. A rise this spring is expected,
he continued.
