Farm Market Survey
ATL ANT A-Southeastern
producers received higher
prices during the week ended
Dec. 8 on hogs, eggs, grain and
pecans, USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service reports.
Feeder steer and heifer
prices trended steady to 50
cents lower, while calf prices
declined $1 to $3. Cow prices,
however, trended steady to 50
cents higher.
Broiler prices generally
trended 1 cent lower, and
cotton prices also were lower.
Fruit and vegetable prices
showed both advances and
declines.
LIVESTOCK
Feeder cattle and calf prices
trended steady to lower around
the southeastern market circuit
during the week ended Dec. 9,
USDA’s Agricultural Marketing
Service reports. The slackening
off in demand for feeder cattle
was influenced by the ap
proaching holiday season wind
down and the inclement
weather conditions in the main
destination areas of the mid
and southwest.
In the midwest, slaughter
cattle prices advanced 75 cents
to $1.50 while the carlot
carcass trade closed $1.50 to
$2 higher. The day-to-day con
trol of live slaughter cattle sup
plies by feeders has resulted in
a sellers market.
In the southeast, compared
to one week earlier, feeder
steers and heifers sold steady
to 50 cents lower while calves
trended steady to mostly $1
lower, however weights 200 to
400 pounds in Alabama and
Georgia were $1 to $3 lower.
Slaughter cows sold steady to
50 cents higher over the area.
Barrows and gilts were
sharply higher around the
Southeast, and closing sales
were largely 75 cents to mostly
$1 higher. At midwest points
and eastern corn belt terminal
markets, prices were generally
$1 to $1.50 higher. Prices both
at southeast markets and at the
national level set new record
highs. Substantial price ad
vances were posted on pork
cuts at the wholesale level.
POULTRY AND EGGS
In the Southeast, the broiler
market continued in an un
settled to weak position during
the week ended Dec. 8, AMS’

Hog Cholera
Reported
In Dade
ATL A NT A-Confirmed
cases of hog cholera are on the
increase in Georgia with four
cases involving 653 hogs con
firmed during the first five
months of fiscal year 1973
(July 1-Nov. 30).
As a result of these recent
outbreaks, the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture (USDA)
reports that Georgia has lost its
designation of being “hog
cholera free.”
Since July 1, hog cholera
has been detected in four Geor
gia counties-Tattnali, Dade,
Jefferson, and Johnson. At the
present time, USDA’s Animal
and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS), in coopera
tion with the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture, has a
quarantine on portions of Jef
ferson, Johnson and Washing
ton counties.
Dr. C.J. Mikel, APHIS
Veterinarian-In-Charge for
Georgia, said at Atlanta that
when a quarantine goes into
effect, it remains until at least
30 days after the last infected
or exposed herd has been
depopulated.
Exposed herds, he ex
plained, are those that have
had contact with one or more
animals that are known to be
or suspected of being infected
with hog cholera, or with
persons or equipment that have
been exposed to the hog
cholera virus.
"During a quarantine
period," Dr. Mikel said, "all
the swine in the area are regu
larly inspected with any ill
nesses diagnosed. In addition,
all swine moving from a quar
antine area to a slaughtering
house must be inspected before
leaving the premises, and the
trucks that haul them must be
clean and disinfected.”
Dr. Mikel pointed out that
movement of swine from a
quarantine area after inspec
tion for any purpose other
than slaughtering is a violation
of state and federal laws.
Before Georgia can regain
its "hog cholera free” status, it
must go six months without a
single outbreak.

"He should be stopped—
the poor birds have to bathe
in that same water.”
The Summerville News, Thurs., Dec. 14, 1972
News Branch reports.
Negotiations generally were
limited but trended mostly one
cent lower compared to the
previous week. Preliminary
F. 0.8. dock equivalent prices
ranged from 24% to 26‘A cents
per pound on U.S. Grade A
and 24% to 25% cents per
pound on plant grade.
Ready-to-cook demand was
irregular, ranging slow to fair.
Live supplies were fully
adequate to mostly ample for
the prevailing demand. Average
live weights ranged desirable to
often heavy.
Farm prices dropped sharp
ly on heavy-type hens under
increased offerings and a slow
buying interest for ready-to
cook product. Farm prices
were mostly 20 to 21 cents per
pound. Offerings of light type
decreased. Demand generally
was good, and farm prices
trended higher in several
instances. Farm prices ranged
from 7 to 8%, mostly 7% to 7%
cents per pound.
Cartoned egg prices in the
Southeast were unchanged to
fractionally higher on deliveries
to volume buyers for the week
of Dec. 4. Extra large ranged
50% to 54 cents, large 49% to
53, medium 48 to 51. Move
ment generally was fair under
imited promotional activity.
Shippers strived to clear ac
iumulating stocks of larger
sizes by substituting them for
ighter weights due to the
Joseness in price structure.
COTTON
Trading slowed at southern
;otton markets during the
week ended Dec. 7, USDA’s
Agricultural Marketing Service
reports. Demand was mainly
for medium and higher
qualities which comprised a
small proportion of current
ginnings.
Buyers were less interested
in booking 1973-crop cotton,
and farmers were content to
postpone making advance com
mitments at the present time.
Domestic mill inquiries were
less numerous as many mills
were receiving large quantities
of cotton against orders placed
earlier in the year.
Prices for Middling 1-inch
cotton at the 12 spot markets
averaged 27.29 cents per
pound, net weight, on Thurs
day, Dec. 7. This compares
with 27.38 cents a week earlier
and 28.78 cents a year ago
Prices for Middling 1 1/16-
inch cotton at the 12 spot
markets averaged 31.58 cents
per pound. This was 23 points
below the 31.81 cents the
previous week and 71 points
