Feeder Cattle Prices
Improve This Year Prices on both calves and yearlings advanced during the 1965 special feeder cattle sales in Virginia, says K. C, Williamson, beef cattle marketing specialist at Virginia Tech. There were 36 feeder calf sales in which 37,222 calves sold, about 300 short of the 1964 figures. Steer calves averaged $27.37 per hundred weight, up $3.90 over year earlier prices. Heifers averaged $21.58 per hundred, up about $2.80 per hundred over last year. The spread between steers is among persons 65 years of age or over, largely because they are often unable to help themselves escape from a burning building.
The next highest death rate is among children under 5 years old, and again they become victims because they do not know what to do in a fire emergency. If you have eldely people or small children in your home, draw up an escape plan under which adults and older children will see to it that the elderly and the young get out of the house if fire occurs.
