Barrel Forum

By A. J. Drinkell

The optimistic predictions of the
Hon. James Gardiner regarding an
early lifting of the ban on Canadian
cattle entering the U.S.A. show no
sign’ of materializing. Reports eman-
ating from American sources indi-
cate it will not be lifted before the
coming spring, at the earliest.

The Department of Agriculture be-
lies the minister's optimism also
when it issues a strong plea to all
livestock producers to keep their
cattle otf the market as long as pos-
sible. Some local growers are won-
dering why, in view of this appeal,
the Directors of the Cariboo Cattte-
men’s Association decided to hold
the Fall Feeder and Fat Stock Sale
as usual, this year. One otticial ex-
plains it was due entirely to the fact
many Cariboo ranchers cannot hold
back their normal beef shipments—-
which is quite true. Nevertheless it
would seem good business to hold
back every possible hoof.

Top steers will, of course, com-
mand the prevailing floor price and
there seems to be a fair demand for
good feeder steers at present, largely
due to the purchases by the govern-
ment for our troops in Korea and
similar deals. Cows, however, are not
wanted. They are only required at
prices far below cost of production.
The long term view of the market
gives cause for optimism. What with
droughts in the U.S.A. and many
parts of Australia together with a big
decline in production in Argentina,
demand should continue heavy until
these losses are recovered. ‘The forth-
coming economic conference to We
beld at Ottawa may well be produc-
tive of a greater measure of trade
with our commonwealth partners. No
doubt the livestock producers will
press for that.

A most interesting report has just
been released by the Food and Ag-
riculture Organization of the United

Nations. This concerns the eighteen
millions of cattle roaming the rich
plains of Ethiopia. These vast herds
have been ravished for years by Rin-
derpest, a disease which renders the

one million head annually. Two years
ago the FAO appointed a noted Cana-
dian agriculturist to take charge of
am in the
domain of Haile Selassie. Working
with inoculation teams using newly
discovered vaccines Dr.
has been so successful it is estimated
the country will be entirely free of
this virulent disease within the next
five years. This indicates the product
of these herds will be readily avail-
able to Britain and the meat hungry
European countries, which lie within
easy hauling distance of Ethiopia.
Based upon an°annual harvest of
20% of the total number of livestocic
(the U.S.A. production avera
30%) this means a yearly beef pro-
duction of over 3% million nead, or
nearly three times the Canadian year-
ly output will be placed upon the
market. The average slaughterings
at all our inspected plants for the
past ten years is a little over 144
million head. Such an output may
readily be absorbed but cannot fail
to have considerable impact upon tie
world’s markets, generally, and is
more -than a passing thought by ovr
Jown livestock industry. Some large
meat packing firms are already ne-
'gotiating to erect packing piants in
Ethiopia.
| NOW would seem to be a good
time to be consolidating our overseas
|marKets. We have previously pointed
lout that experience teaches us ure
American ‘market cannot be relied
upon as affording a continuous out-
let for our surplus meats.
