Shipments of feeder lambs into Corn Belt states in September was only 85 per cent as large as last year's figure and the smallest for the month in six years. Excellent prospects for wheat pastures and the abundant crop of grain 3orgums and other feeds in the Plains section are expected to encourage a material increase in feeding over the small number of lambs finished in this section last year. Moderate Increase In Cattle Feeding Cattle feeding developments to' date indicate a moderate increase in the number of cattle fed for market during the coming: winter compared with a year earlier. Shipments of stocker and feeder cattle into the Corn Belt states for each of the three months of June, July and August were much larger this year than last and the total was the largest in four years. During July and August, cattle feeders showed a decided preference for heavy weight feeders and the price spread between heavy feeders and light weight stocker feeders was unusually wide. The price of heavy feeders was about tis high as a year earlier, but light cattle were about 52.00 a hundred lower. Both demand for and ship ment of feeder calves since July 1 have been materially below a year ago with the result that large numbers of calves normally bought by farmers or feeders have gone to slaughter. Straight Dope On VFA Stocks The best picture of WFA fowl stocks that has been offered to date are the following figures presented by Lee Marshall, director of WFA's Office of Eflstribution.
