Argentine Beef Output
“Argentine would not have a single bead of cattle left, either for home consumption or for export, within 10 years if slaughtering continued at the rate-of the last three years.” said the president of the'Argentine Rural Society recently. He warned that meat rationing was imminent if the country’s cattle population was to be saved. Cattle numbers had fallen from 46.9 m head in 1956 to 41.1 m this year, and were likely to fall to 37.7 m next year. This was said to be largely a result of the balance between grain and meat prices having been broken. Cattle breeding was discouraged recently when the guaranteed crop prices were considerably raised.
