Extract

Texas has developed into a major cattle feeding State during the past few years, mainly because of the existing favorable feed/cattle price relationships. These price relationships are the result of the surplus production of both grain sorghum and feeder cattle within the State and the demand for fed beef in Texas, in other Gulf Coast States, and in California.
