30/04/2001
The number of hides being generated in the United States could be on the increase over the next few months.
According to the US website focusing on the North American hide and skin sector, hidenet.com, the feedlots are ‘bulging with cattle’ that will soon be market ready. The subscription-only news service predicts slaughter rates rising to around 675,000 head per week by the first or second week of May, compared with current levels of 633,000. It also anticipates that the same high level will be sustained into the Autumn.
