Page 20-The Chronicle, Satu Compared to a five percent increase for 1980, prices for T98T are expected to increase 10-15 percent. As of November 1980, the average retail choice beef price was $2.42 per pound. With cattlemen now in the rebuilding phase of the cattion for 1981 is expected to increase one percent over 1980. However, total meat production (red meat and poultry) is expected to decrease 1.9 percent. When combined with overall inflation. this decrPasp should lead to higher meat prices in all categories. The Cattle Cycle Continues To Play A Dominant Role in determining current and future beef supplies and, hence, prices. The industry is now in the herd rebuilding phase of the cycle, during which cattlemen retain young female calves (heifers) in their herds for future reproduction. As a result of this herd expansion, cattle numbers are expected to total 115.5 million as we begin the new year, up from 111 million in 1980 but still far below the 1975 peak of 132 million head. Beef production will also be up slightly (about one percent), with 1981 per capita consumption expected to total 79 lbs. (retail weight), compared to 78 lbs. in 1980. Producers respond to profits, not prices. -And 1980 was a year in which profit opportunities for cattlemen were few and far? between. Prices for choice steers and feeder cattle were actually lower than the year before, while the costs of production were up substantially. Losses incurred by cattlemen in 1980 ?were?doubly?dovastatingbecause this was expected to be a profitable time, a time in which cattlemen could recoup losses and repay loans taken out during the largely unprofitable period from 1976-78. The upshot for consumers? With the profit incentive diminished, cattlemen have slowed the herd rebuilding process, meaning a longer time before production increases can lead to more beef at stable prices. The Cattle Industry Is A Capital-intensive Business, which is why recent high interest rates are of great concern to producers. Many cattlemen market cattle only once or twice a year and _ consequently must operate on borrowed capital. The "cost of money" (interest rates) has -a lot to do with a ^^cattleman's profit or loss potential -- and his ability to rebuild his herd. As a result, spiraling 1980 interest rates (up as high as 21 percent) cut heavily into producer profits, forcing many into a loss situation by year's end. Weather Conditions And Inflation are two other major factors behind a surge in beef production costs. Last the nation's feed grain crop to 192 million tons, leaving it 18 percent below 1979's total and the smallest harvest since 1976. Less feed grain on the market will push feed prices upward, adding to cattle production costs. Inflation is expected to cause other costs to rise significantly, as well. According to the USDA, fertilizer prices are expected to rise 20 percent, fuel costs 22 percent and labor costs 8 percent. Combined, these factors mean an ever-higher break-even price for cattle producers and feeders. Higher Retail Beef Prices do not necessarily mean increased profit for wholesalers and retailers. As of November 1980, beef wholesalers were netting c irday, January 31. 1981 only half a cent per poun of beef sold. This miniscu! tion costs, such as packaj ing, refrigeration, transpoi tation, labor and other sue expenses. At the retail leve net profit is currently 2.2 cents per pound of bee sold.?Here.?as- with?th wholesaler, increased pre duct ion costs hav e left v ery slim profit margin.
