Abstract: Price-production cycles in the cattle industry could be reduced substantially by gearing. production levels to consumer demand. Economic benefits would accrue to both producers and society. This may be a possibility, since production units are larger and producers more management-oriented. Less heifer replacement and increased cow cull would be necessary, probably in 1932. Better information for producer decisionmaking, sponsored jointly by industry and Government, should be of value.
