Herrell DeGraff, president of the American Meat Institute, predicts that beef supplies could well grow leaner and costlier by early winter. Cattlemen are avoiding oppressive feed prices by letting their steers fatten on grass, a process that takes about 90 days longer than grain feeding...
After 15 years of trying and more than 1,000 experimental mixed marriages, D.C. ("Bud") Basolo has produced a herd of 5,000 hardy cow-buffalo hybrids.

Basolo expects to send off a herd of 2,000 for their meat-counter debut this fall in Los Angeles...

Even if the farmers do hit the Government target on acreage, it is doubtful that they will get a big enough crop to fulfill Administration estimates. Seeds...
