Schoenfeld, Director Oregon State College and United States Department of Agriculture, Cooperating Printed and distributed in furtherance of the Acts of Congress of May 5 and June 30, 1914 Oregon's Meat Animals and Wool* 1867-1947 By ELVERA HORRELL, B. W. COYLE, and L. R. BREITHAUPT money is received by farmers from the sale of meat ani- MORE mals and wool than from any other of the 12 groups of Ore- gon's farm products (see CASH RECEIPTS). Prices received by farmers for animal products have varied greatly from 1909 to 1946, with low points in the early 1930's and highs during the war-time periods (see PRICES). The peak in total numbers of meat animals may have been reached some years ago, although trends vary according to kinds. Cattle and sheep utilize vast amounts of grazing land in the state and also require much farm-raised feed. Two charts in this bulletin depict (1) cropland uses, showing the importance of feed crops, and (2) the relative feed requirements of the several kinds of animals and poultry, up to 1944. The overall number of meat animals in Oregon has decreased considerably since 1944, although beef cattle numbers are still much above prewar. Compared with the 1935-1939 average, sheep num- bers on January 1, 1947 were down 61 per cent, and hogs 31 per cent. All cattle on the other hand were 16 per cent above 1935-1939. Although milk cows decreased 6 per cent, beef cows increased 45 per cent above prewar (see CATTLE, SHEEP, HOGS). Data on "grazing units" of cattle and sheep have been calculated by the Division of Agricultural Economics at Oregon State College from official data from 1867 to 1947. Taking the cattle other than milk cows as animal units plus 5 sheep as an animal unit, Oregon had 326,000 animal units in 1867. The number increased rather steadily until it reached 1,238,000 animal units in 1903. That was the peak during the 1867-1947 period. The number declined rather gradually after 1903 until it reached a low point at 936,000 in 1912. The next peak came in 1918 at 1,171,000; and the next low in 1926 at 929,000. Another peak was reached in 1934 at 1,125,000, a low in 1940 at 997,000; another peak in 1944 at 1,148,000, with the preliminary figure at the first of 1947 down to 971,000. During the 45-year * State data in this bulletin are based on various reports from the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture, except as otherwise noted. County data were prepared from information obtained from county agricultural agents and other informed persons. The sum of the county estimates in each case is in agreement with the state total. This bulletin was prepared for publication by Mrs. Elvera Horrell, junior extension statistician; B. W. Coyle, assistant extension statistician; and L. R. Breithaupt, extension agricultural economist, Oregon State College Extension Service. 3 OREGON'S FARM MARKETINGS: Sources and Trends MEAT ANIMALS 8 PRODUCTS A0. 1926-1930 Av. 1935-1939 5123.000.000 Ill 000 000 1.--... 25 9 % YEAR 1942 9220.000.000 P - -- --.- -- -- 2.

Cattle Total cattle numbers reached a peak at 1,194,000 in 1944 from an average of 919,000 during the 1935-1939 period. By January 1, 1947 the number had declined to 1,067,000. Most of the decrease was in milk stock. During the 1935-1939 prewar period milk cows on farms averaged 267,000. By 1943 this number had increased to a peak of 290,000, then declined to only 251,000 on farms January 1, 1947. This represents a decline of 6 per cent from prewar, and 13 per cent from the high point reached in 1943. The high point in beef cow numbers was reached in 1945. Beef cows on farms as of January 1, 1947 totaled 304,000, 6 per cent below the 1945 peak, but still 45 per cent above prewar. (See Table 2.) Nearly 90 per cent of the beef cows are in eastern Oregon. The greatest number are concentrated in the south central counties. (District 6.) In 1946 these counties accounted for more than half of the beef cows in the state. The Snake river basin counties had around one-fourth ; and the Columbia basin counties one-eighth. Lake County leads the state in numbers of beef cows on farms. In 1946, 14 per cent of the state total were located in this county. Malheur County was a close second accounting for about 13 per cent. Other counties having more than 10,000 beef cows as of January 1, 1946 are Harney, Klamath, Grant, Baker, and Crook. (See Table 7.) Sheep Tables 3, 8, and 9 contain data showing numbers of sheep and lambs in Oregon, by counties and districts, over a period of years. Sheep numbers have been decreasing steadily since 1931 when a total of 2,679,000 were on farms January 1, compared with only 803,000 on January 1, 1947. That is less than one-third of the peak number and only about two-fifths of the 1935-1939 average number. The number of breeding ewes in Oregon on January 1, 1947 was the lowest on record. General trends in lamb numbers and wool production have followed the trend of ewes. The 1946 lamb crop, estimated at 716,000 head, was nearly 10 per cent below the previous year and only about half of the 1935-1939 average. In 1946, only 6,800,000 pounds of wool were produced-18 per cent below the previous year and less than half of the prewar average. Table 8 shows that sheep are kept in all the type-of-farming districts in Oregon with the greatest number in eastern Oregon. During recent years, however, the rapid decrease in sheep numbers in eastern Oregon has brought about a decided change in the dis- Table 2.

For example, in 1940 eastern Oregon had three-fourths of the total sheep in the state, with one-fourth in western Oregon. By 1944 numbers had decreased in eastern Oregon and increased in western Oregon, with the result that on January 1, 1944, two-thirds of the sheep and lambs were in eastern Oregon and one-third in western Oregon. The preliminary estimate for January 1, 1946 shows that 57 per cent of the sheep and lambs are in eastern Oregon and 43 per cent in western Oregon. Douglas County in western Oregon leads all counties in numbers of sheep and lambs on farms with around 11 per cent of the state total. Malheur County follows with about 8 per cent and Umatilla with about 7 per cent. Hogs Records of hog numbers on farms in Oregon are available as far back as 1867. (See Table 4.) On January 1, 1947 only 161,000 hogs were on farms in Oregon. That is 21 per cent below January 1, 1946, 31 per cent below the 1935-1939 average, and the lowest of any year of record since 1875. Brood sows on farms January 1, 1947, at 24,000 were 17 per cent less than a year earlier, and only two-thirds of the prewar average. The greatest decrease in hog numbers since 1939 was in Districts 1 and 2. The least decrease occurred in District 6. Table 10, which contains numbers of hogs in Oregon, by couti- ties and districts, shows a rather even distribution between western and eastern Oregon. On January 1, 1946 the Willamette Valley (District 1) accounted for nearly two-fifths of all hogs raised in the state. Marion County led all other counties with an estimated total of 17,000 hogs. Wallowa County, in eastern Oregon, with 16,000 was second in the state. Malheur followed closely with 15,000. Cash receipts Among the major groups of Oregon's farm commodities, the meat animals group ranks first in cash receipts from farm marketings. During the 1926-1930 period this group accounted for 25.9 per cent of the total, compared with 25.2 per cent during 1935-1939, and about 20.0 per cent in 1946. The next most important group is dairy products, with 17.7 per cent in 1935-1939 and 13.5 per cent in 1946. Receipts from meat animals and wool have increased each year (See Table 1.) In 1946, at $68,232,000 cash receipts from these products were nearly 24- times the 1935-1939 average. Increases were recorded on all items within the group, with the exception of wool. In 1946, receipts from the sale of all cattle and since 1938. OREGON'S MEAT ANIMALS AND WOOL 1867-1947 9 calves, including beef and veal, were more than 3 times the prewar average. From sheep and lambs, including lamb and mutton, 1946 receipts were nearly one-third above the prewar average, while wool receipts were less than three-fourths of the prewar average. Receipts from the sale of hogs and pork products were more than double the 1935-1939 average. Much of the increase in cash receipts was offset by higher costs for production, of course. Prices Prices received by Oregon farmers for most meat animal products reached a high level in 1946. Beef cattle averaged $14.40 a hundred in 1946, 235 per cent of the 1935-1939 average; veal calves at $15.50 were 201 per cent of 1935-1939; lambs at $15.40 were 223 per cent of 1935-1939; and hogs at $18.20 a hundred were 212 per cent of the 1935-1939 prewar level. Sheep reached a peak in 1918. In that year, the average farm price of stock sheep stood at $10.30 a hundred, 285 per cent of 1935-1939. In 1946, stock sheep prices averaged $7.10, 196 per cent of prewar. Wool, in 1918, averaged 56¢ a pound, 237 per cent of 1935-1939. In 1946, at 410 a pound, wool was 174 per cent of prewar. The low point in prices for beef cattle was reached in 1933 and 1934 at 60 per cent of 19351939 ; in 1933 and 1934 for -verrealves at 65 per cent of 1935-1939; and in 1932 for sheep, lambs, wool, and hogs at 62, 54, 38, and 46 per cent, respectively. For a complete record of seasonal 'average prices for meat animals and wool in Oregon, see Table 5. Terminal market prices for meat animals are summarized in a mimeographed circular entitled "Trends in Livestock Prices, 19241945," available from the Division of Agricultural Economics, Oregon State College.
