Holiday Beef Demand Decent as Summer Arrives
Tue, 07 Jun 2011 6:16:42 CDT
Beef movement over the Memorial Day holiday period seemed to be fairly good- and according to Jim Robb with the Livestock Market Information Center out of Denver, there is hope that the next couple of holidays that are often associated with grilling, Fathers Day and Fourth of July, will be positive demand events for steaks and hamburgers.
We have comments from Robb on both the demand side of the equation, as well as the supply side as he also talks about cattle slaughter during his Monday appearance on Agriculture Today as heard in Cyberspace on the K-State Radio Network.
Robb says the numbers show relatively flat slaughter numbers compared to a year ago- but one encouraging sign is that it appears that beef cow numbers may be down just a bit.
Jim Robb is our featured guest on today's Beef Buzz.
The Beef Buzz is a regular feature heard on radio stations around the state on the Radio Oklahoma Network- but is also a regular audio feature found on this website as well.
